Summer Soul Tending | Episode 2

Trust in God's Lead

Overview

Joe Stabile started centering prayer at age 14. If you’ve ever wondered how a lifetime of centering prayer shapes a person, listen to this conversation with Joe. Throughout his life, Joe has had a constant posture of discernment and a deep trust in where God is leading. Joe is so rooted in the Spirit; listening to him, being around him, is like jumping into a cold pool of water on a hot summer day.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

  • Joe’s story of his life with God and his deep trust in God that has led him on an interesting, unexpected, and awesome life journey (to say the least!) (5:00)

  • The Seven Classical Disciplines and which ones feel particularly important right now (17:00)

  • The definition of ‘spiritual practice’ that made us go ‘wow!’ (22:00)

  • Advice for leaders in the church who are facing stress and burnout (27:00)
