Season 2 Episode 44- From the Archives- Lectio Divina on John 15:1-4 with Naomi

Dear friends,

Welcome to Season 2 Episode 44 of the podcast.

We’re pulling from the archives again today with this lectio divina on John 15: 4-10 with Naomi, first published in March of 2019. Next week we’ll be back with a new episode, now that we are back at Shekina Garden for the season.

Here’s what to expect in this episode:

* Our friends at another Shekina location in Asia did the intro today! Well, it’s Ro, who you know, and our dear friend Laura. They chat about recording on a windy beach, art meditation, bird watching, and playing hide and seek.

* Naomi guides a Lectio Divina on John 15: 4-10, from The Message paraphrase of the Bible. (If you want to skip to this, it’s at 05:40, but don’t skip the introduction, because you’ll never know what kind of birds Laura saw when she was birdwatching with Chinua and that mystery will haunt you!)

For the third part, we encourage you to process your meditation by sharing your experience and thoughts if you are meditating with others, or journaling or recording your experience in some way if you are meditating on your own. Enjoy!

Season 2 Episode 40 - From the Archives: Many version Lectio Divina on John 8:12 with Ro

Dear friends,

Welcome to Season 2 Episode 40 of the podcast. 

We’re pulling from the archives today with this Lectio Divina from Ro, first posted in August of 2019. 

In this episode, Ro and I talk about the week while sitting in a café, including new roof hats at the garden, tiny biting flies, and my trip to Mae Sot, where I visited my friends from The Charis Project, an organization that provides education and support for under-served migrant families. You can check them out here. 

* Ro guides a form of Lectio Divina where she reads John 8:12 in a lot of different versions, with a lot of space in between each reading. It’s a great way to truly soak in one verse.

The order of versions she uses are:

New Living Translation, The Message, The Passion Translation, The Voice and the English Standard Version.

(If you want to skip to the meditation, it’s at 07:17 but don’t skip the intro because you’ll miss the lulling sounds of rain behind our dulcet tones.) 

Ro will offer some exercises to bring your mind into a quiet space, then guide you through the meditation on the verses.

For the third part, we encourage you to process your meditation by sharing your experience and thoughts if you are meditating with others, or journaling or recording your experience in some way if you are meditating on your own. Enjoy!
