Westslowfaithwithdrew@substack.comNo<![CDATA[Getting Lost]]>Many of you know I started my podcast before writing on Substack. I started feeling like I didn’t have a place to keep my podcast scripts, and I was winging it when I recorded my episodes. I was so scattered. Sometimes the episodes turned out great, but I needed a better way.

To save time and ensure I had something worth sharing, I decided to begin writing on Substack to share in multiple ways while also ensuring my written material was solid for recording.

There are differences between my podcasts and writing, this episode certainly shows that.

My goal in all of this is to have a longer conversation about what it means to be finite and called to be in union with a God who is infinite.

I hope you enjoy it.

-Drew

I referenced Richard Foster's book "Celebration of Discipline" and Don Postema's "Space for God". At the heart of the Gospel is what God has done for us, not what we have done or can do for God. Centering prayer, silence, and sabbath all flow from this. We can pause because God holds all things together.

WestNo886<![CDATA[The Power of a Well Processed Life Feat. Roger Haynes]]>In this episode, Roger Haynes helps us to see that our souls can sometimes be like a junk drawer. There is so much that happens to us and we go through unhealthy seasons when we do not make space to process. Luke 24:13-35 shows us that Jesus draws near to us when we seek to figure out what to do with trauma, regret, and questions.


Roger Haynes is the pastor of Common Ground Church Blouberg in Cape Town, South Africa.
