This conversation begins with a blast from the past! We are talking all things Gen X including the Brat Pack actors we loved as teenagers. We discuss the Brats documentary on Hulu, the power of being labeled by others and how it impacts our identity. We also share what we are learning from Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer including contemplative prayer and the small habits crucial to our spiritual formation. This book has reshaped our undertanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ, and we consider it a "must read" for us all!

Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer

• Learning how to pause and simply "look at God looking at you with love."
• Gaze at the beauty of the Lord. We become like what we gaze at.
• The most important thing that happens between God and the human soul is to to love and be loved by God
• Contemplative prayer - spending time with Jesus - enjoying and being with God. There's a kind of knowledge you can only get by direct person to person experience.
• May you be covered in the dust of your rabbi.
