Episode 18: Spiritual Disciplines - Remembrance

Spiritual disciplines help to root us more deeply and also press us on in our following of Jesus. Walking in the way of Jesus instinctively feels like a forward kind of motion - a hand to the plow movement - and so it is. But what happens when you don’t know which way is forward or why you want to go that way at all? What do you do when fear holds your feet to the floor, when lies whisper that you shouldn’t trust the one you are following? In those moments, for me and maybe for you, the way to move forward is to look back. The spiritual discipline of remembrance may feel counterintuitive when you want to move on, but often it is the very thing that will bolster our faith and trust in God and keep us following the one who told us that he is the way.
