In this episode, we continue our series on seasons of formation by talking with Lori Shoults, a spiritual director in her late 50s with three adult children and growing grandchildren. Lori shares how her early faith was traditional and knowledge-based, but a significant question from posed to her in her early 40s opened a new inward journey of vulnerability, self-knowledge, and experiencing God’s love. She describes how the Ignatian Exercises and the Paschal mystery shape her current formation, especially through a recent breast cancer diagnosis that required deep consent and trust. We discuss practices that sustain her now, and what God is forming in her through all of life's ups and downs. \nConnect with Lori and the work she is doing at:\ntheignatianjourney.com, practicecollective.org, and pastorspriestsandguides.com.\nCLICK HERE for your free resource on life stage questions.\n\nCLICK HERE to learn more about a personal download or subscription to oneLife Maps.\n\n00:00 Welcome and Series Setup\n00:50 Meet Lori Shoults\n05:07 Traditional Faith Foundations\n06:27 A Question That Opened Tears\n09:04 A Year of Inner Formation\n12:41 Why the Shift Happened\n16:47 Ignatian Exercises Lens\n19:12 Paschal Mystery Rhythm\n21:31 Consent in Crisis\n22:08 Cancer Diagnosis Journey\n23:42 Breath Prayer in MRI\n24:52 Sober Joy Through Pain\n26:37 Releasing Outcomes\n29:45 Embodied Openness Practices\n31:51 Rhythms Walking Reading Fasting\n34:54 Examen and Indifference\n37:25 Where to Connect Next\n39:51 Resources and Farewell\nLIFE MAPPING TOOLS\nGain clarity at life’s transitions and know yourself and God better through our visual life maps.
