Episode notes
Name Instability As Revelation
- When instability arrives, name it as revelation rather than a declaration of failure or abandonment.
- Use that revelation as an invitation to shift how you relate to God, yourself, and others.
The Prodigal Pattern Of Spiritual Movement
- Rusty maps growth onto prodigal-son movements: leaving home, homebound, and homecoming.
- We regularly divert attention from God to make homes in success, relationships, or achievements until those houses crumble.
Practice Holy Indifference
- Cultivate 'holy indifference' so your soul can care rightly rather than be consumed by outcomes.
- Distinguish gifts you offer from gifts others must give you to avoid dependence on their behavior for your well-being.
