Spiritual practices (or spiritual disciplines) can be a great way to deepen your faith. In times of turmoil, creating space to turn inward and reflect can act as a solace and balm. What spiritual practices are you drawn to after listening?

Shannon White - S6E10 by Round Hill Community Church

“The Woman with the Alabaster Jar” is a short Bible story with deep ideas. How do we care for others? How do we choose to receive care? Jesus’s gracious acceptance of the woman’s gift shows us the value in being loved and served by others.

When faith communities talk about “The World,” it is often with a negative connotation. How did the feeling of separate-ness come about? How can people of faith be a force for good in the world? Ed and Leslie discuss this and more on today’s episode of Round Hill Radio.

Today we discuss the book, “Art and Faith, a Theology of Making” by Makoto Fujimura. Conceived over thirty years of painting and creating in his studio, this book is Fujimura’s broad and deep exploration of creativity and the spiritual aspects of “making.” What he does in the studio is theological work as much as it is aesthetic work. In between pouring precious, pulverized minerals onto handmade...

The idea of “self compassion” can feel foreign when the idea of loving, or even liking, yourself is difficult. Today, we look at self-compassion and the way that we can use our talents, gifts, and energy not only for others but for ourselves as well.

In a complicated world, simplicity can be a welcome strategy. Today, Ed and Leslie chat about the ways we can foster simplicity (and how the new podcast setup is not particularly simple!)

When the momentum of life can start to feel inevitable, pausing to reset can be an invaluable strategy for realigning with your goals and values. Today’s conversation looks at the ways in which we can use this concept to cultivate grit and resilience, facing whatever life throw our way.

Resilience is typically defined as the capacity to recover from difficult life events. Cultivating resiliency takes practice and care. Today, we chat about different stories of resilience and how we can incorporate these ideas into our own lives.

The Story of My Life, part 1 - S5E22 by Round Hill Community Church

Ed and Leslie discuss the book “When the Heart Waits” by Sue Monk Kidd. Blending her own experience with an intimate grasp of spirituality, Sue Monk Kidd relates the passionate and moving tale of her spiritual crisis, when life seemed to have lost meaning and her longing for a hasty escape from the pain yielded to a discipline of “active waiting.” Full of wisdom, poise, and grace, Kidd’s words wil...
