Ruth's New Book and Spiritual Direction for Retreats

We begin this episode with a quick review of the story of Elijah. There is a payoff to waiting, and not running away.  God is becoming Elijah’s ultimate orienting reality. Entering a silence that is not empty but full of God’s presence. Good news, God is a much better parent than we ever could be. We introduce Ruth’s newest book and how it connects to silence and solitude. The practice in this episode will guide you into being honest before God.
