“Before I can tell my life what I want to do with it,
I must first listen to my life telling me who I am.”
— Parker Palmer

God comes to us brilliantly disguised in the ordinary moments of our everyday lives. With this in mind, we offer an invitation.
For several years, we have invited you into the ancient practice of an annual examen. This year, we have released an updated edition designed for groups of all sizes.
The first portion of this podcast is an invitation to host a group. It might be a regular circle of friends, family, or coworkers with whom you share life. Or perhaps a group of people you’ve been longing to invite into a deeper exploration of the geography of their soul and a reawakening to God’s pursuit.
Here’s the invitation: pray about whom you might share this with. Choose a date between now and mid-January to host a simple gathering. It is structured around a minimum of two hours, though giving it more time allows the experience to breathe. If possible, we encourage you to include a simple meal.
Listen to the entire podcast as a preview and prayer.
When you gather, provide a printed PDF of A Soul’s Review for Groups, which you can download HERE. Then begin playing this episode at the 11:15 time code.
It’s all been prologue. The best is yet to come.
For the Kingdom
Morgan & Cherie
