Monthly Spiritual Practice

March 2022 – Ash Wednesday

Every first Wednesday of the month, instead of a study or lesson, I hope to present a practice. Find a quiet time and space to lean in. Light a candle, maybe. Take a deep inhale. Hold it for one heartbeat and then exhale and begin. This month, we practice Braving the Wilderness.

Jesus Mafa Painting of the Temptation in the Wilderness (1973)

Belonging so fully to yourself that you're willing to stand alone is a wilderness -- an untamed, unpredictable place of solitude and searching. It is a place as dangerous as it is breathtaking, a place as sought after as it is feared.”

Brené Brown, Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone
