Listen "A Leader's Feasting: Spiritual Disciplines"
Episode Synopsis
This Thanksgiving, Bruce Ritter and Charles Russell invite you to slow down and partake in a feast for the soul. In this holiday episode, we explore the Disciplines of Engagement—the practices that anchor us in the presence of Jesus and move us beyond striving, busyness, and cultural expectations.
Together, we unpack themes of:
• Abiding vs. striving
• Resting vs. performing
• Presence vs. pace
• Intimacy vs. impressing
• Following the crucified Jesus, not the Americanized one
• Gratitude as spiritual recalibration
• Engagement as the pathway to emotionally healthy discipleship
Through Scripture, pastoral insight, and coaching application, Bruce and Charles guide you into a deeper, slower, more Spirit-led way of living this holiday season.
