EPS 55: Living out the Resurrection – Guest Christine Sine

I have an Easter treat for you, and of course it’s a gift that will give all year long–no matter when you stumble onto this episode!

My guest is Christine Sine, M.D. an author, blogger, teacher, gardener, spiritual contemplative and the Executive Director of Mustard Seed Associates.

She has much to tell us about Christian spiritually lived in a healthy, whole, and fully-embodied way.

Soul School – Lesson 22: What Causes Rebirth of the Heart?

Today, I talk about the 5 things that precipitate rebirth in the heart. It’s the realm of renewal, revival, and awakening. It goes by many names, of course. Have you encountered some form of it in your own life?

Want to share your own experience of rebirth? Go HERE to the community page. 

Welcome to Soul School. It’s a Hump Day (Wednesday) tradition.

PART 2 of this Soul School Lesson is equally as good.

3/12 [LIVE discussion-REPLAY] on the themes of Easter

Guest Shane Blackshear and I discuss the themes of Easter and re-birth and also heaven, N T Wright, resurrection, Holy Week, and more.

SKIP AHEAD to MIN 6:50 – we had some audio issues at the beginning. And Blab captures a 1-2 second audio lag. You will notice it in the dialogue exchange. It is a bit out of sync.

This happened LIVE on 3/12/2016.
