ThinSpace: Recent Episodes
Cloud Walk Ministries
Cloud Walk has spent the past 17 years creating experiences to be used as a catalyst to ongoing formation and spiritual growth. The ThinSpace Podcast is a new way for this ministry to share with the community what God has so generously shared with them.
The desire for the ThinSpace Podcast is to not simply fill some space, but to help you create a space where you will experience true intimacy with God. We believe from past experiences with friends at Cloud Walk that the ThinSpace Podcast is a great place to begin or to continue your spiritual Journey.

"God is our environment as the sea is to the fish and the air to the bird. God is over all things, under all things; outside all; within but not enclosed; without but not excluded; above but not raised up; below but not depressed; wholly above, presiding; wholly beneath, sustaining; wholly within, filling." - Hildebert of Lavardin

Although it is never made explicit in the text, when we read the Gospels as story, we can picture a Jesus who, for most of the time, walked through life in unhurried peace and calmness. So unrushed was he that two people in need of his healing died because he would not allow himself to be dictated by circumstances. God received greater glory through Jesus, later raising both Lazarus and Jairus’s daughter from the dead. But in a busy world full of need, poverty, and sickness, Jesus walked through first-century Israel with apparent ease. He desires us to live in the same way.
But how do we do that in a demanding and stressful, modern world? How did Jesus manage it? Much of the answer lies in Jesus’s personal prayer life and his relationship to the Father.

In this episode Evan Chasteen, Jody Green and Larry Green discuss how God has been transforming their hearts personally this past year in the midst of what seems like a growing disunity within our country, Church and communities.
Luke 5:43-45
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven.
1 John 4:19-21
We love because he first loved us. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.

“The most important thing that can happen to a person, is to encounter Jesus, who loves us, who has saved us, who gave his life for us.”
-Pope Francis
Questions from our prayer of examen in this episode:
Express you gratitude to God for His love, His grace and His presence with you this past year.
Notice: How has God grown you the most in this past year? Look back over the year and bring your awareness to a point of personal transformation…I came into the year this way and I am finishing in a new way.
What is my favorite moment with God, Jesus and Holy Spirit over this past 12 months and why?
What is your personal response to God for these moments with Him?
What am I grateful to God for as I reflect on our journey through this past year?
In my journey through the year an I aware of any area of my life where God is inviting me to seek forgiveness, wisdom, patience, joy, love or any other word God wants to give me as we review our year together?
How do I walk away from this past year? Notice any feelings that you have sensed through this prayer and take time to ask God what He wants you to know about them? Notice the positive and notice the negative. Both are valuable as we come before God in prayer.
What do I sense God is inviting me into in this New Year….
For Him,
for myself
and for others.

Cloud Walk has spent the past 16 years creating experiences to be used as a catalyst to ongoing formation and spiritual growth. The Thin Space Podcast is a new way for this ministry to share with the community what God has so generously shared with them.
The desire for the Thin Space Podcast is to not simply fill some space, but to help you create a space where you will experience true intimacy with God. We believe from past experiences with friends at Cloud Walk that the Thin Space Podcast is a great place to begin or to continue your spiritual Journey.
