We’re back for Season 3 of the Clean Heart Club Podcast—and I couldn’t think of a better way to start than by welcoming back my pastor and friend, Kevin Colclasure.You loved our last conversation with Kevin, and this time we’re diving into a topic he’s been preaching and living: spiritual disciplines—the practices Jesus modeled that help us grow in holiness and become more like Him.In this rich and practical conversation, we talk about:What spiritual disciplines are (and what they’re not)Why Sabbath rest might be harder than it soundsThe difference between being a Christian and being a follower of ChristHow practices like prayer, Scripture, solitude, and fasting shape us over timeWhy holiness is an invitation, not a “holier-than-thou” attitudeHow God transforms us as we simply spend time with HimKevin also shares his own journey of learning (and sometimes struggling!) to practice disciplines like Sabbath, journaling, and fasting—and why it’s worth starting small.If you’ve ever wondered how to deepen your walk with Jesus in your everyday life—or if you’ve struggled to make time for God in the busyness of the world—this episode will encourage and challenge you in the best way.Resources & Mentions:The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark ComerPracticing the Way by John Mark ComerDallas Willard’s teaching on discipleship and spiritual disciplinesLet's ConnectFree Thought CalendarFree Clean Heart Club Facebook GroupClean Heart Club Course1:1 Christian Life CoachingInstagramFacebookYouTube

Clean Heart Club crew, you are in for such a tender, faith-filled treat today. 🥹✨I’m welcoming my longtime friend Sherry Weedman to the podcast—pastor, mama of seven (one in heaven), Grammy to 21 (and a great-grandma!), and spiritual mama at HopeUC Nashville, a beautiful “barn church” that’s bursting at the seams with worship, community, and real-deal Jesus people.We talk about what it means to be a “family of families” in the church, how to create small group spaces where people are truly seen and known, and why the world is hungry for authentic, not polished. Sherry shares deeply vulnerable stories of losing her son and grandson, how God met her in devastating grief, and how He truly makes beauty from ashes—or as she says, “brutiful things: both brutal and beautiful.”If you’ve ever been hurt by church, avoided small groups, struggled with shame, or wondered if God could ever redeem the hardest parts of your story…this conversation will feel like a warm hug and a holy invitation. 🤍HopeUC Nashville and the HopeUC global family of churcheshttps://youtu.be/MEOOfBiyVEchttp://www.hopeucnashville.com/Darlene Zschech (writer of “Shout to the Lord” and part of the HopeUC story)Mentioned in this EpisodeCreative Comfort: Where Grief Meets God by Natalie Weedman (Sherry’s daughter-in-law)https://a.co/d/3VnINXjIf this blessed you, would you follow/subscribe and share it with a friend who needs courage today?Want gentle soul care in your inbox?
