Lectio Divina: Meditating on Isaiah 61
In today’s episode, you’re invited to meditate on an important prophetic passage, Isaiah 61, using a method called Lectio Divina, or “Divine Reading.” This method of engaging Scripture employs four movements: Reading, Reflecting, Responding, and Rest, and we will practice all of them together today.
If you’d like to read along with me today, I’ll be reading Isaiah 61:1-4, &10-11 out of the New American Standard Version. If you need longer to pray, meditate, respond, or journal in the midst of this episode, please feel free to stop and start the podcast as needed.
In today’s episode, I read from the book, Sacred Rhythms (https://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Rhythms-Arranging-Spiritual-Transformation/dp/0830833331), by Ruth Haley Barton. If you’re interested in learning more about this practice or other spiritual disciplines, I highly recommend checking out this book for yourself.
May you be encouraged on your journey with Jesus.

A Few Final Thoughts on Resilience
Published 5 Jun 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] We're going to remember together Kurt Thompson's definition of resilience that I've been referring back to all season, and that is our capacity to durably withstand distress, not just tolerating, but hopefully growing through it, withstanding and then growing through. Relationally, spiritually, physically, mentally, we grow by being put through stress that is more than we're used to, but not so much that our resources are maxed out and will break under the weight of it. And so today I want to talk about how that principle applies when it comes to our mental and spiritual health. In parenting, when we want our children to engage in a new experience or learn a new skill, we have to first understand their capacity and development. […]
