An Examen of 2024 | Discerning God With Us Episode 05

Co-Hosts: Steve Macchia and Matt Scott
“Once we begin to notice God, we can’t help but give thanks to God for his good gifts. Gratitude begins to bubble up within.”-Steve Macchia
This final episode of the year invites you to close out 2024 with a Year-End Examen. Practiced daily, the Examen is an ancient, spiritual practice that can help us see God’s hand at work in our whole experience. In this reflective exercise, you're invited to take time to deliberately notice God through the internal thoughts and external events of the past year.
Join the conversation about spiritual discernment as a way of life at www.LeadershipTransformations.org (www.leadershiptransformations.org) and consider participation in our online and in-person program offerings. Additional LTI spiritual formation resources can be found at www.SpiritualFormationStore.com (www.spiritualformationstore.com) and www.ruleoflife.com (www.ruleoflife.com) and www.healthychurch.net (www.healthychurch.net) .
