The Mentor’s Table podcast | S1E4: Our NEW Spiritual Discipline Part 2
As we continue our discussion on the importance of remembering and raise it to the level of a spiritual discipline that needs to be practiced regularly in our lives, we talk about how we need to remember God’s goodness in the GOOD times as well as in the bad. Also, I give some practical ideas for how to incorporate this spiritual practice into your regular life rhythm.
PLAY THE EPISODE
I couldn’t wait to add more to our discussion about remembering being a new spiritual discipline. One of the points we focus on is how important it is to remember God’s provision in the GOOD times. I also give some practical ideas for how to incorporate remembering in your life rhythm. Take a moment to listen, and then share your responses below.
A few prompts to help add your voice to the table:
There are aspects of remembering woven into some of the other spiritual disciplines—gratitude, prayer, and Bible reading to name a few—do you think remembering have enough substance to stand on its own? Why or why not?
Would you be willing to share any examples of when remembering fueled your hope in the midst of a difficult trial?
Please share ALL THE PINS with out-of-the-box ideas for creating your own remembering station in your home.

The Mentor’s Table podcast | S1E2: Surrendering Even When You KNOW Better
In today’s episode, we’re going to step on some of my fellow recovering-control-freak’s toes. When we’re talking about God’s invitation to surrender, there is no caveat that says we can wait until it starts to make sense to us.
PLAY THE EPISODE
In today’s episode, we’re going to step on some of my fellow recovering-control-freak’s toes. We’ll start with Jesus asking Simon (Peter) to lower his nets in the sea after he’s been fishing all night and caught nothing. As a fisherman by trade, Peter KNOWS BETTER, yet he answers, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets” (Luke 5:5 esv).
When we’re talking about God’s invitation to surrender, there is no caveat that says we can wait until it starts to make sense to us.
How About You?
Which of your past experiences does Peter’s example trigger in your memory?
Do you still find yourself hung up on waiting for the understanding to come before the surrender?
Are there any practices/habits you have implemented that have helped you be able to surrender before you understood the why?

The Mentor’s Table podcast | S1E1: The S-Word
Let’s begin the conversation about everyone’s favorite s-word (please note the sarcasm dripping off that statement). Here’s where we dive into the nitty gritty truths about surrender.
PLAY THE EPISODE
SHOW NOTES
In this episode, we begin to tackle the s-word—surrender. We’ll begin with a moment of silence so we can focus and come back into our bodies while we listen to what God is saying to us.
Surrender is a whole-body; whole-life action verb that too often gets glossed over with sweeping generalizations. In this episode we’ll begin to talk about some of the nuances to the word and why I’m choosing to focus on it for this season.
Conversation starters:
* Which subtitle resonated with you and why?
The Nitty Gritty Parts of Surrender—Invitations to develop callouses on your soul and muscle memory in your body to let go
God’s invitations to live from a posture of open hands, open heart, eyes fixed
* Do you believe that the ability to surrender requires building spiritual muscle memory, or do you believe it primarily is dependent on something else? Please explain.
