Destination Postcards

In this episode of the Searching Inward Podcast, George Stull, Scott Reall, Anna Bryant and Seth Abram talk about destination postcards, which are vivid pictures from the near future that show us what’s possible. We must envision what we want to become, so we discuss the role hope plays into this and why we must do something in the present to allow us to participate in the future of God.“But I do know this, George. It takes effort to work from vision.” -Scott [03:33]“I was just thinking like being able to expand our window of tolerance, being able to process our pain, helps us to maybe to circumvent that self-sabotage cycle.” -Anna [12:45]“I would imagine gripping so tightly does not lead to any kind of serenity that is helpful at all in getting through, but open handed trust is what we’re aiming at.” -George [23:45]“I’m just reminded that we’ve all been conditioned in the process of growing up to react in a patterned habitual way, and unless we work with that patterning, we’re not going to start showing up in the world in a different way. It doesn’t just happen. We have to work with that.” -Seth [25:52]TIMESTAMPS[00:05] Intro[01:01] Hope and vision are intertwined[04:28] Visualization for cultivating resilience[10:22] What some resistance might be[17:16] Anticipation vs expectation[23:56] Final words and takeawaysFollow and ContactFacebook: Restore Small GroupsInstagram: @restoresmallgroupsYouTube: Searching Inward PodcastWebsite: restoresmallgroups.org
