Everyone gets forked in life…That point where your path comes to a split and you have to choose carefully which way to go.

Watch the new book trailer and get a taste of what it’s about!

Navigating the territory of crossroad or difficult decisions is also called, in many faith traditions, discernment.

My new book works like a practical pocket guide based on time-tested spiritual exercises that have helped people for over 400 years (The Spiritual Exercises by Ignatius of Loyola, originally written to help men make a wise decision about vocational priesthood).

FORKED: A Discernment Pocket Guide is a guidebook and an integrated process approach that includes all aspects of you: body, mind, and spirit in a prayerful way.

When we find a fork in our road we tend to dis-integrate from our whole and leave out key parts of us when we decide things. Keys things like the intuition, the imagination, the nature talents we have, or the godly passions of the heart that have been germination and waiting to sprout in fertile ground.

Seven key exercises in the book guide you through introspective questions that help you understand yourself and your situation better in a way you’ve never encountered.

There is no one way to accomplish the process. That means, you can progress through all of the the exercises, or pick the ones that make the best fit for you and your situation. Just grab a notebook and pen and begin.

Don’t be afraid to get started. Give it a try.

Soul School – Lesson 8

This Soul School is about the habits in your habitat. We need them to keep us from unnecessary stress and extra thinking. The habits we need to break are the ones that stop us from being numb and to help us start to see the people nearest to us again.

The challenge (“home work”) in this soul school is to thwart an unhelpful habituation and to reengage someone you’ve stopped noticing, hearing, or seeing in your world like a neighbor, family member, co-worker, or someone in your ordinary day. But there’s more….

Listen to find out.

SOUL SCHOOL comes out every other WEDNESDAY.

Soul School – Lesson 6

This lesson is called:
“The Stories We Accidentally Tell About Ourselves”

I tell you stories about me and you tell me stories about you. What if we listen harder and add new chapters to redeem our stories and add more renewal, authenticity, and hope?

Thank you for listening today.

Please let me know if you like these short weekly lessons, or I should improve them or remove them from the podcast line up. I’ll happily take your feedback.
