  Holy Runaways - Rediscovering...

  In the past decade, church attendance among US adults has decreased by more than 25 percent. Americans report leaving religious communities because of the institutions' hypocrisy and resistance to change or because of trauma they have experienced in those spaces. Instead of safe havens for people of faith, many churches have become sites of harm—places people feel the need to escape at all costs. 
   
   
   
  In Holy Runaways, psychotherapist Matthias Roberts reaches out to those who, like him, want to understand the religion they've run from and erect a new faith on firmer foundations. He concludes that the best blueprint for a new spiritual home requires reimagining ourselves, God, and our very definition of faith. 
   
   
   
  Roberts blends deeply personal stories, new interpretations of familiar Christian parables, and recent scholarship about the dynamics of trauma to offer a way forward—and a warm, helpful companion—for listeners on their own journeys. He calls out people who perpetuate systems of violence and oppression and suggests ways we can all contribute to a new system built on love—and a new home we can inhabit together.

  Nurturing - The Supportive...

  Nurturing growth is a fundamental aspect of both personal and collective development. It is the process of creating an environment where individuals can flourish, reach their full potential, and thrive. The journey of growth involves not only the pursuit of external success but also the cultivation of inner strength, self-awareness, and a deep understanding of one’s purpose. By providing the right kind of support, encouragement, and guidance, it becomes possible to foster an atmosphere where growth is not only achievable but sustainable. 
  At its core, nurturing growth is about offering the necessary resources and fostering the right mindset for individuals to flourish. Growth is not something that happens by accident; it requires conscious effort and dedication. It involves creating the conditions that allow for personal transformation, whether that’s emotional, mental, or spiritual. The importance of growth is multifaceted; it helps individuals develop resilience, adapt to challenges, and become more effective in their endeavors. Encouragement plays a pivotal role in this process, as it can serve as a driving force, helping individuals overcome self-doubt, fear, and obstacles along their journey. 
  Understanding development and flourishing is crucial in the context of nurturing growth. Development refers to the continuous process of improvement, whether in skills, knowledge, or emotional well-being. It’s about evolving into a more capable version of oneself, and it’s a dynamic process that often requires introspection, learning, and self-compassion. Flourishing, on the other hand, is the state of thriving—living a life full of purpose, joy, and fulfillment. It represents not just the absence of difficulties but the active presence of well-being and meaning in life.

  Practice the Pause - Jesus'...

  These days, many of us live in a state of overreactive fight-or-flight response and chronic stress. The demands of modern life pull us in all directions and can often put the meaningful connections in our lives at risk—connections to our deepest selves, to others, and even to God. 
   
   
   
  But there is good news. New developments in brain science have recently proven that an intentional practice of pausing for a few minutes of meditation, prayer, or other contemplative practice actually rewires our brain in ways that make us calmer, less reactive, and better able to see the bigger picture. 
   
   
   
  In Practice the Pause, spiritual director and writer Caroline Oakes offers easy-to-understand explanations of how this new brain science is confirming what every spiritual tradition has been telling us for millennia: by practicing the pause, we become more self-aware and better able to understand others. We become more "God aware." With a refreshing focus on the Eastern Christian understanding of Jesus as a master of wisdom, Oakes shines a spotlight on Jesus's own centering pause practice as a transformative path for personal and social change. We learn that even a seven-second pause practice can move us beyond the fight-or-flight responses of our ego in our daily lives and actually equip us to cultivate the common good in the world.
