SEASON TWO - EPISODE 12: MINDFULNESS WITH STEVE WIENS
What happens when our faith stops working? Is it all over? Should we just give up entirely on faith and God?
Steve Wiens doesn’t think so. Steve actually thinks that a deconstruction of our faith is a regular pattern. And, he’s all about helping people reconstruct their faith.
On my newest podcast episode, I interview Steve Wiens as we talk about just that. We talk about how disillusionment and disorder are a regular rhythm of the spiritual life and the importance of practicing mindfulness as a way to encounter God all around us- from brushing our teeth, to a sunset, to a religious gathering.
Steve is a spiritual teacher, author, and pastor who loves helping people reconstruct their faith after their theological foundations have crumbled. He desires to give people permission to experience new and expansive ways of understanding God, themselves, and the world in which they live.
We need more pastors like Steve.
He’s written three books: Beginnings, Whole, and his newest book which we talk about in this episode is called Shining Like the Sun, which introduces seven mindful practices for those who’ve lost their faith but are still in search of God.
Steve also hosts the weekly podcast, This Good Word, which explores what’s holy in our humanity. You can learn more about Steve and connect with him on his website.
I feel as if Steve is a few years ahead of me on this journey and I am so thankful for the ways he is helping so many people, myself included, to discover God in new ways and to experience the Divine all around us.
