One might often think that growth is gonna happen in a particular way that we usually perceive as a huge experience or something flashy, but growth might actually look different. What does the Lord want to teach us and how does He teach us these things? We don’t grow by having everything altogether all the time. We also cannot expect to grow while staying self-protected in our comfort zones. Instead it’s when we actually experience poverty.
In reality we can be uncomfortable from the challenges of our lives and realize that this is what we need to help ourselves to grow in love and in holiness. This episode looks back on how most of us perceive, encounter and experience growth. An invitation for us to reflect on what does it really mean and how can we make it happen.

Made for Mysticism
Life of prayer is worth going “all-in” on. In this mystical identity, there’s an invitation to let go of ourselves. Prayer is not authentic if we are stuck or focused on ourselves. Prayer changes as we let go of our own notion of what it should be. We are constantly invited for our hearts to be attentive and open to become mystics — to become men and women of prayer. It anchors us in the reality that we are made for relationship, we’re made for prayer, and we are made to live in intimacy with God every single day of our lives.

Hunger for God
Are you hungry for God? One of our foundational struggles is that we’re just not hungry for Him. Part of the path, if not the path, is that we will have to experience this hunger.

Have you experienced being confined to self-centeredness? Sometimes, we can have a pretty self-focused approach to our lives where it’s all about what we need or want. But the invitation for us in this Exodus is to always move towards someone else, towards the relationship, towards God—to be totally out of ourselves and make a self-gift back to God and other people. This episode is the third part…
