Find Wonder. Find Adventure.

What are you hoping for from your spiritual life? Beyond rules for living and rich community and even spiritual power, many spiritual masters encourage us to keep our hearts eager for great adventure and wonder. Join Dave Schmelzer to explore guidance from Brother Lawrence, Tuesdays with Morrie, the Bible, and his own journey of giving this stuff a try. Mentioned on this podcast: The Practice of the Presence of God, by Brother Lawrence Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown--Antarctica Tuesdays with Morrie Acts 2:17-19“‘God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below.”

Get Your Dream! (Then Keep Your Dream.)

How do we find and sustain the kind of meaningful work that's at the heart of our deepest dream? Dave Schmelzer looks at how great contemplative teachers suggest that common biblical wisdom about this question works just great--until it doesn't, and we realize we're being invited into a different experience of life than we'd anticipated. All with our dream right at the center. Mentioned on this podcast: "Follow That Dream" by Bruce Springsteen Matthew 14:22-33 and 2 Peter 1:4 30 Lessons for Living, by Karl Pillemer
