There’s so many ways to attend to our places and our stories. @leslielfields on #findingholypodcast

I never thought I would write a writing book. @leslielfields on #findingholypodcast
Writing is more than recording, but is a way to ask a lot of questions. @leslielfields on #findingholypodcast
ONE SMALL STEP
Use one of Leslie’s prompts: For once I want to tell the truth about ___________. Use it to word seek into it. Set a timer for 10 minutes. Don’t think about what comes out. Pursue God, the logos and truth and wait to see what new understanding comes from that.
