10: Exploring the Secret Place with Guest Ruth
Description
In this episode, the conversation revolves around Ruth, also known as The Secret Place poet, and her practices of creating intimacy with God. From quiet moments of journaling or reflection in nature to praying aloud or using visual affirmations like a mirror, Ruth delves into her personal practices that help her focus on her relationship with God and bring peace to her days. Her practices are fluid, changing in response to the encouragement and direction of the Holy Spirit. She counters the notion that 'organized' or 'ritualistic' religious practices are less meaningful, and emphasizes their value in teaching obedience and bringing comfort. The discussions also touch on the importance of experiencing God through vocation - acknowledging all work that honors God as spiritual, rather than segmenting our secular and spiritual lives.
