We hope you enjoy this season!What holds us when life becomes heavy? In this second conversation, Deb Gregory and spiritual director Becky Eldredge explore how hope is sustained in the seasons when our interior movements go quiet. Ignatian spirituality teaches that discernment is never a solo practice — it is communal, embodied, and grounded in the ways God meets us through others.Becky reflects on the reality of dark seasons: times when prayer feels thin, energy disappears, and the nervous system contracts under the weight of grief, fear, or exhaustion. In these moments, hope isn’t something we generate. It’s something we lean on. Something that is held for us. Something that comes through the people, practices, and postures that keep us tethered to God when we cannot feel that tether ourselves.This is the heart of the scaffold of hope — the steadying structures that support us until interior movements return. Becky names the simple, whole‑person practices that help rebuild hope: breath prayer when words are unavailable, stepping outside to engage the senses, tracing even the smallest graces through the examen, and allowing trusted companions to accompany us without rushing us toward resolution.Hope becomes a shared practice, not an individual achievement. It shows up in the body as steadiness, breath, presence, and the quiet assurance that we are not alone. And in Ignatian discernment, hope is one of the most reliable markers of God’s movement — even, and especially, in the dark.ThemesCommunal Hope — how others hold hope when we cannotScaffolding Practices — embodied rituals that steady us in dark seasonsIgnatian Accompaniment — discernment as a shared, relational practiceDesolation & Consolation — navigating spiritual darkness with honestyHope as Gift — a theological virtue, not optimismWhole‑Person Spirituality — tending the nervous system, emotions, and body in prayerPracticesBreath prayer in seasons without wordsSensory grounding outdoorsNaming small graces in difficult daysThe examen as a way of tracing God’s presence in darknessAllowing community to hold hope on our behalfHand‑over‑heart prayer for God’s nearnessFavorite Lines“Sometimes hope is held for us until we can hold it again.” “We need a scaffold of hope in the seasons when our interior movements go quiet.”ResourcesBecky’s Books:Encounter Grace: Moments of Hope, Joy, and PeaceThe Inner Chapel: Embracing the Promises of God Busy Lives & Restless Souls: How Prayer Can Help You Find the Missing Peace in Your LifeDeb’s Book:Spiritual Wayfinding: 33 Walking Meditations for Navigating Life with Embodied WisdomUse Code IVPOD25 for 25% offFollow BeckyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/beldredge98Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beldredge98/My website: http://beckyeldredge.com Ignatian Ministries- the non-profit Becky founded: https://ignatianministries.org/Where to Find DebFlourish Spiritual DirectionSubstackIG or FacebookMedia Used in this Episode:Palms Down by Blue Dot Sessions (www.sessions.blue)Faded Promises licensed through Soundstripe.

    What does discernment have to do with the body? In this conversation, Deb Gregory and spiritual director Becky Eldredge explore the affective and holistic wisdom of Ignatian spirituality — a tradition where the whole person prays, listens, and discerns.

    Becky describes how interior movements show up not just in our thoughts but in our emotions, our breath, our posture, and the subtle shifts in energy that surface when we face a decision. Ignatian discernment invites us to pay attention to these movements as real spiritual data: signs of what draws us toward God and what pulls us away.


    Favorite lines:

    We throw hope around like confetti.

    Hope has a name, and his name is Jesus.

    Following this thread, Deb and Becky take a deep look at hope as a theological virtue — a God‑given orientation of the heart and a trusted fruit of the Spirit in discernment. Hope isn’t optimism or positivity; it’s the interior movement that buoys us, widens our perspective, and helps us recognize where God is drawing us forward.


    Themes

    Embodied Discernment — how the body participates in prayer and decision‑making

    Interior Movements — noticing emotional, cognitive, and somatic shifts

    Ignatian Spirituality — whole‑person wisdom for everyday life

    Cura Personalis — care for the whole person in spiritual direction

    Consolation & Desolation — affective markers that guide discernment

    Hope as a Theological Virtue — more than optimism; a God‑given orientation of the heart

    Affective Discernment — reading the signals of breath, posture, and energy

    Spiritual Accompaniment — the ministry of noticing what moves within

    Why I wanted to talk with Noel

    Noel is both an Old Testament scholar and a spiritual director — two threads that run through my own story. My early academic path was aimed toward becoming an Old Testament scholar, but my vocation ultimately led me into spiritual direction. Even so, my love for the Hebrew Bible has never faded. Talking with Noel gave me the chance to explore both the scholarly depth and the spiritual formation that emerge in the wilderness stories of Scripture.


    Key Themes we Discussed (and Wrestled With)

    naming our interior landscape

    encountering God in desolation and disorientation

    biblical wilderness as a formative space

    varied terrains of wilderness in the Old Testament

    the Suscipe: An Ignatian prayer of trust


    What stuck with me

    Wilderness is not a single metaphor. It’s a range of terrains — and each one can become a place of encounter.


    A question for reflection

    Where do you notice wilderness in your own interior landscape, and what stands out as you name it?


    The Suscipe Prayer of St Ignatius

    Take, Lord, and receive all of my independence,

    Memory, understanding, and my entire will

    —all of my resources and possessions.

    Everything is yours. I entrust all of it to your care.

    Only inflame my soul with your love and grace.

    That is enough for me.

    (Translated by Deborah Gregory, Spiritual Wayfinding, pg 75)


    About Noel’s book

    God in the Desert: A Spiritual Theology of Wilderness in the Old Testament traces how God meets people in barren, exposed, or disorienting places — and how those ancient encounters can help us understand the landscapes within our own lives.
