What if God is kinder, gentler, and more present than you can imagine? Join me for this conversation with spiritual director, Kari Mirro, as we explore the gift of spiritual companionship on our journeys of discerning the presence and activity of God in our actual lives.

Listen in as we talk about our spiritual journeys, including:

• The role of a spiritual director and how they hold a non-judgmental space to help you notice the movement of God in your life
• Opening ourselves up to people we trust to help us navigate the gap between our head and our heart—or our heart and our head
• Why we need other people to walk with us on the journey of spiritual formation
• How everyone’s perception and experience of God is different, but why we can still relax with those whose journeys look different than ours
• How paying attention to our longing might allow us to get curious about God’s invitations
• The role our imagination might play in allowing us to experience the kindness, gentleness, and compassion of God
