Episode notes
Jesus Shows Guidance Is Relational
- Jesus models complete openness by saying he can do nothing on his own and only does what he sees the Father doing.
- Ken highlights John 5:19–20 to show guidance is relational: the Father shows the Son what he does, producing alignment and greater works.
Practice Ignatian Indifference To Discern Direction
- Practice Ignatian indifference: become impartial toward options so your inner 'arrow' points straight up before God.
- Ken explains this disposition helps you detect consolation (peace, joy) versus desolation (restlessness, disconnect).
Feelings Reveal Spiritual Alignment Over Time
- Consolation brings sustained peace and alignment with God; desolation brings restlessness and distance even if a choice feels momentarily pleasurable.
- Ken qualifies that sinful choices once felt good when he was unyielded, now they produce remorse, illustrating internal change.
