Episode 223 - Brian Boecker, "False Self vs. True Self"

“The call of spirituality is to be fully human and fully alive.” - Brian BoeckerRuth Haley Barton once said, “...there is a truer self waiting to be recognized and breathed into life by the Spirit of God.” The war between the false self and the true self is real and for some of us, is fought throughout our lives. Franciscan priest Richard Rohr feels that there is no more challenging spiritual issue than the "problem of the self."On today’s podcast, Michael welcomes back Restoring the Soul colleague Brian Boecker to discuss the false self versus the true self and consider questions like, ”What are the repetitive patterns that keep me deadened to my own desire and how do I awaken those things?” We also hope you come to realize that the call of spirituality is to be fully human and fully alive.Brian Boecker is an Intensive Clinical Soul Care Specialist at Restoring the Soul.
