Join Picking Dandelions’ 1st Twitter-View

Sarah Cunningham — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 11:00:58 +0000

@Jen_Rose, who blogs over at the divinest blog spot eva (that’s really the name–sorta), is interviewing me all week…get this…via Twitter.

(Its not her fault. I’m a nerd in any universe, including Twitter-earth. Just keep in mind, nerds rule the world.)

Here’s the most innovative part – you can join the interview. (Picture you in the front row of the press conference screaming your question into the mic, shoving down the other reporters…)

Ask whatever question you want. Be curious. Be funny. We can go deep or we can create some sarcastic banter. Just be sure to use @sarahcunning and the twitter tag #pdti so we can keep track of what is being said. (Lest our twitter-view veer out of control.)

You can follow the twitter tag #pdti to read along all week and/or–if you are resisting Twitter–wait for the transcripts to go up on Jen’s divinest blog in a few days. (The non-Twitterites can leave questions in Jen’s blog comments today and I’ll answer those there. Equality rules.)

Let the twitter-view mayhem begin!

Take a Left at the Holy Spirit, then 2 miles down…

If you’re like me, you’ve been around the church block a time or two.

You know the lingo.

Redemption, sanctification, all that jazz…

But every once in a while, a new term sneaks onto the scene.

One of these, for me, has been the concept of “spiritual direction”–a term that started popping up in my circles over the last decade.

Off the cuff, spiritual direction sounds like it might involve one person giving direction and the other one taking it (finally, a spiritual model for us control freaks!!) but that is misleading.

Spiritual direction is closer to spiritual companionship; where one person accompanies another on their spiritual journey. It involves listening, reflecting, observing another person and helping them deepen their awareness and response to God.

Even that sounds sort of vague..but also compelling. Does it not?

Hence why I invited Mary Darling, a personal friend and co-author of two books along these lines, to help us demystify the word and see if there might be some value in it for those of us trekking along after God.
