Ep 51 Yes, But How? Three Embodied Practices of Advent
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Susan and Alex discuss three ancient spiritual practices that invite us to gain a new glimpse into who God is and how to follow him so we can be stirred up toward love and good deeds.
From the book, Advent by Tish Harrison Warren:
"For the early church these three spiritual disciplines -- prayer, fasting, and giving-- were held together. All three of them were robustly physical. Early church leaders spoke about them in almost medicinal terms: a way of healing our souls through how we use our bodies. To work on the body was also to work on the soul; to discipline the body was to purify the soul. Prayer, fasting, and giving are tangible ways to learn to follow Christ not only with our minds but with the entirety of our beings."
