What If Flexibility Is A Spiritual Discipline

A closed highway can reveal what we really worship: comfort, control, or trust. After a Sunday that starts with joy at church, a simple drive home turns into a five-hour detour caused by nearby forest fires and massive traffic backups. By the time I finally walk through the door, I’m exhausted, frustrated, and convinced I have every right to be grumpy. Then one word keeps cutting through the noise: flexible. I talk through what it looks like to loosen my grip on my timetable, my preferences, and even my small “deserved” rewards, and to choose peace when the situation won’t change. If you’ve ever felt your mood hinge on delays, canceled plans, or unexpected obstacles, you’ll recognize the battle instantly. This episode originally aired on September 13, 2022, during one of the worst fire seasons in British Columbia and Washington State.  Until this year... Right now fires are raging again throughout our province and the smoke is giving our world a dark orange glow that can feel suffocating. This episode fits for today as much as it did 4 years ago.   Danny MacWe would love to hear your comments. Send us a Text MessageSupport the show
