“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
—Matthew 11:28
In this 15-minute Formation Dig, Gene shares a personal reflection on the practice of spiritual direction—how it changed his life, what it really is (and isn’t), and why this quiet work may be one of the most powerful gifts you can offer another soul.
Whether you’re walking through a foggy season or longing to learn how to walk alongside others with clarity and grace, this episode will ground you in what matters most.
🪷 Reflection Question for the Day
Where in your life right now do you need someone simply to be with you rather than fix you?
Could God be inviting you to offer that same quiet presence to someone else?
