This episode continues our series on spiritual practices - exploring ways to practice our faith in everyday life! I'm joined today by an amazing pastor and professional napper, Shawna Gordon. She also happens to be my wife. In this episode, we talk about why napping and other forms of rest are a spiritual practice that resists capitalism and white supremacy. We explore messages we received about rest growing up and why learning how to listen to and honor our bodies as adults is a powerful way of claiming our identity as children of God.
What are spiritual practices and why do they matter? Are they more important than ever before? In today's episode, Pastor Riley kicks off a series on spiritual practices! She starts with a practice that has been most important to her - intentional breathing, specifically breath prayers.
