“I love this ministry. We are so busy in our loud lives we don't even realize that God is waiting to speak to us. Or we are frustrated because we feel a disconnect. What relationship would we not feel a disconnect in if we were not intentional to create space for it?”Read full review »

“I have deeply appreciated having a new way to think about my faith. I have notes scattered everywhere as I listen and replay some podcasts.
Do you have a glossary somewhere for spiritual formation terms? Soul, false-self, core longings, etc?”

“I got so much out of reading Ruth’s book a few years ago but having the chapters recapped in audio is a very helpful aid to me as I sooo need reminding of all of this. I’m using the sessions in Season 5 and 6 now to help guide me on a retreat I’m taking by myself.”
