What is Spiritual Discernment? | The Discerning Life Episode 01

Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Matt Scott

“Look what social media has done to our ‘notice me’ inclinations today and how that self-centeredness keeps us from preferring God instead.” – Steve Macchia

Welcome to all who are joining us as members of the Reading Retreat for The Discerning Life.  (If you still want to join the online, author-guided, self-paced retreat, go to www.stevemacchia.com for all the details).  Spiritual discernment is “practicing a preference for God” and one that we can learn how to live on a daily basis. How do we posture ourselves to prefer God and guide others to do likewise? That’s what we need to learn and it only happens by a practiced discipline and choice of the heart.  Perceiving and noticing God in the daily, routine places of our lives prepares us for times when we need to discern his particular will.
