Rethinking Your Spiritual Path (revisited)

In this episode, I explore two very different ways of approaching the spiritual life. One begins with self-expression. The other begins with vocation—a call that comes from beyond us. Drawing on Colossians, I reflect on why the deepest authenticity may not be something we create, but something we receive as we follow the way of Jesus.For the transcript see The WoodlandsSpiritual Practice: The Next StepSet aside a few quiet minutes each day this week.Ask yourself:What am I being drawn toward?What am I feeling compelled to do?Which of these leads toward greater love, truth, or faithfulness?Don’t worry about the whole journey. Simply notice the difference and take one small step in the direction of what is calling you.PrayerLord Jesus, you call us to follow you. Quiet the voices of fear, pride, and distraction within me. Help me to recognize your invitation, trust your guidance, and take the next faithful step. Amen. This is a public episode.
