Summary: Tsh's guest for this episode is Katherine Willis Pershey, a pastor who's also a mom to two little kids, so she personally knows the challenge of incorporating daily spiritual practices into life. She’s a smart cookie who is very much a normal person who gets real life. They talk about things like Lectio Divina, Examen, praying with color (yep, that’s a thing), meeting with spiritual directors, why the simple act of reading is a spiritual practice, and why we need to celebrate truth and beauty equally. Our chat isn’t heady at all—we do our best to cut through the Christianese and talk about what spiritual practices look like for us normal people. Even those of you who don't consider yourself Christians can glean some wisdom from this one!
