During these uncertain times, the strength of God's promises and the encouragement in spiritual writings become even more important in keeping us grounded and hopeful. This week in our "Take Your Time Tuesday" video, we introduce you to the spiritual practice of Lectio Divina or "divine reading" as a way to help your soul go deeper into scripture and other writings.
Gayle Kerr, a spiritual director and supervisor in our Gateways to God program, gently guides us through the 3 phases of Lectio Divina using God's promises in Isaiah 43. Though it can be hard to see, God is doing a new thing and lectio divina will help us discover it.
