Christmas is past but the new year hasn’t yet arrived. In this in-between week, John and Allen invite you to slow down and experience a thin place with God before jumping back into your regular routine. Doing so can radically change your new year—if you’ll try these simple yet profound practices.
Show Notes: The five steps of the Ignatian Examen include coming into God’s presence, asking for help to be aware of how God has been moving, reviewing the year, gratitude and confession, and considering how this might shape your approach in the new year.
