Season 4, Episode 12 - More About Journaling (My Story)

In Part One, we explored the power of journaling for clergy and ministry. In this episode, I take you deeper—into my own lifelong practice of journaling.

You’ll hear:

📓 How I began journaling as a youth, possibly during Confirmation, and what those early pages looked like
📦 The surprising discovery of a box of journals from the 1970s—and what those entries revealed about my faith journey
📖 How journaling has shifted across the decades, reflecting different seasons, purposes, and needs
🎨 Why creative approaches like stickers, collage, and art journaling can open new doors—even if you’re not an artist
✈️ A look at the Traveler’s Notebook trend: its history, unique size, and how people are using these versatile journals today
