Understanding Ourselves and Encountering God
When we think about sources of spirituality; liturgies, sacred scripture, or church doctrine comes to mind - rightfully so. Can our own experiences and stories also be a source of how we encounter truth about who we are and who God is? In this episode, we talk about the intersectionality of our identities, how we discovered them and what glimpses of God we were able to catch in the process. Plus, we talk to Becky Ruvalcaba from Campus Ministry about how and why cooking tacos in her backyard is a love language.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Wasting Time and Contemplation
<p>Can the fear of being unproductive be linked to our misunderstandings of what it means to pray or be contemplative? In this episode, we honor our own practices of contemplation and the challenges we face to give ourselves the permission to “waste time”. Plus, we talk with Michael Hebbeler from the Center for Social Concerns at the University of Notre Dame about his class on social change and why, for one of his classes, he makes students go birdwatching with him.</p><br><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
