Life moves quickly. Contemplative Tuesday Podcast invites you to slow down, take a deep breath, and join in a guided, contemplative engagement in scripture and prayer. Together, we’ll allow the Holy Spirit to form us and transform us, as we are attentive to the beauty and power of God’s Word, and as we use the practice of imagination to bring the unseen Kingdom of God into view.
The Natural Contemplative explores our essential nature, as revealed through contemplative practice and immersion in the natural world.
An audio podcast that tackles the deeper philosophical issues of living in a dynamic modern world. The goal: uncovering insights so that we can each choose to live more intentional lives with meaning. Hosted by resident multimediographer: David Quiring.

From discussions of contemporary music to musings on the interior life, and everything in between, ...
