Thank you to everyone who tuned into my live video! Clearly, I’m gonna need to work on finding better angles to set my phone up for filming—it looks like I’m wearing a giant helicopter hat and I’m ready to fly away!
Anyway, I hope the recording helps answer any questions you might have and you slipped in a tiny little prayer practice for you at the end.
Here’s an outline of some of the questions I cover in the Live:
What is Soul Care Lab?
A live (preferably, although you can watch recordings and interact asynchronously, although I believe the effect and experience won't be as robust), online group to learn about, engage in, and reflect on various spiritual practices to deepen our connection with God and others
What do we do?
We'll meet on Zoom, where I'll record the introduction and guided practice, but leave out any portions interacting with the participants in order to protect privacy.
How long are the sessions?
1 hour each
How often do we meet and when do they end?
We'll meet every other week, for 4 sessions. Then after a break (length to be determined by the season), I'll start up another round of sessions.
How do I sign up?
You'll need to become a paid monthly or annual subscriber here. You can cancel anytime, although the minimum subscription period is one month.
If you cancel in the middle of your billing period, you won't be refunded but you won't be charged for the next billing period and you'll have access until the end of the billing period you paid for.
There is no additional cost for Soul Care Lab—our paid membership gets you in for any and all sessions.
All my writing continues to be free (and AI-free).
What practices will be covered?
A variety (because that’s what I crave)! This round, we’ll introduce two foundational practices, the Examen Prayer and Lectio Divina.
But then I’ll introduce two variations on those practices to demonstrate how you can creatively interact with spiritual disciplines.
What’s next?
Come back to Substack Live next Saturday morning, August 17 at 9am Pacific, to try out a guided spiritual practice with me in a 30-minute mini session.

If you’ve got more questions, please post them in the comments so that everyone can see them and my replies as well—thanks for your interest!
