About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of listening and guidance in spiritual life, using the Transfiguration story as a reference.
Have you ever meant well but found yourself over-managing, correcting, or directing too much? In the Transfiguration story, Peter does exactly that. He means well, but he hasn’t learned how to listen. This episode is about listening and guidance, and how we’re often led by our impulses instead of by God. Text Matthew 17.
