In this episode, Lindsay is sharing her spiritual formation journey and what God is inviting her into in her current life season. Lindsay, 43, is married to Tyler, a lead pastor, and they have 11-year-old adopted twin daughters. She also serves as Spiritual Formation Director at The REALIFE Process and recently completed spiritual direction training through Sustainable Faith. She shares how growing up in church as a “good girl” led to shame, hiding, and believing she had to have her act together, until a ministry training and seminary experience in Chicago invited her into deeper inner work and healing through a safe community. In adulthood, infertility, adoption, and motherhood became key places of surrender and receiving God’s grace. She also shares her current spiritual practices and rhythms for connection with God in her unique life season.\n\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\n01:41 Lindsay’s Current Season\n04:11 Early Faith and Shame\n06:40 Ministry Training Breakthrough\n10:23 Infertility and Adoption Journey\n15:04 Community and Safe People\n19:58 Marriage vs Deep Friendships\n24:24 Integration and Daily Practices\n29:46 Body Rhythms and Nature\n34:35 Resources and Closing\n\nLIFE MAPPING TOOLS\nGain clarity at life’s transitions and know yourself and God better through our visual life maps.
