Caring for Your Soul in Every Season | Season 40, Episode 12

Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Matt Scott "A spiritual practice is not a prescription for success; it's an invitation to deeper intimacy with God." - Steve Macchia As Season 40 of The Discerning Leader Podcast comes to a close, Steve Macchia and Matt Scott reflect on the journey of exploring the state of our souls through the lens of LTI's Soul Care Audit. Together they revisit key themes from the season—including caring for our bodies, minds, and emotions; practicing silence, solitude, and Sabbath; cultivating spiritual friendship and community; and embracing the gift of spiritual direction. Through listener questions, Steve and Matt offer practical wisdom for navigating demanding seasons of life, creating space for God in the midst of busyness, building meaningful relationships, and discovering sustainable rhythms of soul care. Ultimately, this conversation points listeners toward a holistic vision of spiritual formation and the life-giving invitation of a personal Rule of Life—a pathway to deeper intimacy with God and greater attentiveness to the health of the soul. The 3 page Soul Care Audit offers you a handful of questions to consider how well you're caring for your soul.
