This has to be the best episode in the series so far. Thank you so very much. Dallas, Richard Foster, Eugene Peterson, Bonhoeffer and so many others who have enriched my life as well as you continue to do John every single morning. You and your Team start my day and help me end my day as I take some seeds and in corporate them into my Examen every night. Thank you, thank you, thank you.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️‍🔥🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you for your kind word and encouragement! We continue to be blessed - thank you for sharing a part of your morning with us. Bucky

Thank you both! I love hearing about Dallas and the relationship you both had with him. His sermons and books changed my life but I did not get introduced to him until many years after his death. I am shaped by the legacy you both carry on! Thank you for your amazing work, spirit and words!!!!

@BecomeNew Месяц назад

Thank you for kind words and encouragement - Dallas was indeed special and his legacy lives on. Be Blessed Bucky

@traceyyeo5647 Месяц назад

What book would you recommend as a newby to Dallas and a fairly mature Christian without it too much theology. Thank you

@tj9642 Месяц назад

Holy Leisure. I just finished a little book called Chair Time. Basic premise is sitting and listening to God. Not easy. I’m a multitasker and doer. It’s not talking TO God. It’s listening to Him. The author (Dan Southerland) says it may take some time since we’re used to speaking at God and not being still enough to listen - really listen - to Him.

@BecomeNew Месяц назад

Great point, Todd! It's in that quiet that we can learn to listen and share dialog with the Lord, prayer is not just our monologue to Him! Thanks for sharing! - Rob

A wonderful podcast because John is conversational not lecturing, so thank you for that. I am so pleased to hear what James Smith said about not understanding Dallas Willard for many, many years. I really thought that there was something wrong with me as I don't understand so much of what he says. Now I can relax more and perhaps enjoy reading The Divine Conspiracy...again!

@BecomeNew Месяц назад

Thank you for sharing, Beverly, isn't it nice to know we weren't the only ones!?! - Rob

@godscara Месяц назад

I am with you in not always understanding Dallas Willard. It takes great thought and prayer at times yet I’m grateful to have his teachings.

@beanfeld Месяц назад

I love this insight about the spiritual disciplines. I was in a church that emphasized “the quiet time” with toxic narratives about self and God. 😮 What you believe about God can destroy you and others if you are believing toxic things. 😢

@beanfeld Месяц назад

Sorry, it’s difficult to stop talking about this. 😂

@BecomeNew Месяц назад

Stay true to the gospel! Thank you for sharing Bucky

I will have to listen a second or third time to absorb all this great content. Another spiritual thinker to delve into - James Bryan Smith. How good of God to show Himself through these "family members"👌

@elizabethclark4722 Месяц назад

An entire psychic change has occurred! From "don't just sit there DO SOMETHING!" to "don't just do something, SIT THERE!" Not as a license for sloth, as I once thought, but as an exercise in waiting for further instruction. Transformational spiritual experience happens for me and these moments of pause… Thy will not mind be done🙏🏼🎁🙏🏼

@godscara Месяц назад

I can relate to this. It seems in this information world I’ve become overwhelmed with all of it and have less of a heart connection these days. I will never give up sitting at the feet of Jesus yet I long for the days I feel that “first love” connection again.

John, I love how you break down Dallas Willard’s method or way of using vocabulary -“every word is just the tip of the iceberg” I’ve read two of Willard’s books & although so enlightening, I struggled to get through both. Thanks for this deeper explanation on his writing style🙏🏻

“…to deepen the narrative that I am not in control.” I am doing the 15 min of nothing on a regular basis, hoping this narrative will get into my body, not just my brain. ❤

@godscara Месяц назад

I was wondering if each of these videos about Our Story are on the podcast or is this a different recording than what is shared on the podcast?? I am loving all that’s being shared so grateful! Im grateful your Pastoring has gone out from a single building church to be able to Pastor many beyond the building. Talk about beauty from ashes John! I know the pain of what you went through is terrible yet what God brought from it in your story to preach to so many more is astounding. I am grateful you took what was meant for harm and worked with God to bring about such good for us all! May God bless you and your family.

There are several outlet that offer it - you can check Amazon and if they don't have it - often they list other outlets that do. Bucky

What was the name of the book mentioned that Jim edited, a collection of devotions? Wanting to look it up!

@BecomeNew Месяц назад

James Bryan Smith’s has written several books "The Good and Beautiful God" "The Good and Beautiful You" "The Good and Beautiful Life" and "The Good and Beautiful Community" I believe his Daily Mantra is from "The Good and Beautiful You" I am divinely designed. Deeply desired. Lavishly loved. Fully forgiven. A sacred story of Grace. Never to be repeated story of Grace. Blessings Bucky

@@BecomeNew found it! The one I was searching for is called Devotional Classics (John holds up the book about halfway through, so thankfully it was easier to find than I thought!)
