#12: Survival Guide for the Soul (with Ken Shigematsu)
“Silent prayer leads to a powerful change in the way we inhabit the world because it grows our capacity to pay attention to our Creator, even when we are not consciously praying.”
I think we can all agree that we're too busy, that life is too hectic, and that none of us have time for a Sabbath. And yet, we're also stressed, exhausted, unhealthy and unhappy. In Ken Shigematsu, pastor of Tenth Church in Vancouver, I found a kindred spirit. Ken has developed a rich contemplative spiritual rhythm which has revolutionized his life and the life of his church, and we discussed the simplicity and profound impact of these spiritual practices.

We’re all too busy, too stressed, too fat, and too tired… and peace and rest is the one thing we can’t seem to find. Ken Shigematsu, pastor of Tenth Church in Vancouver, has leveraged the teachings of Catholic mystics and zen masters alike and found a rich contemplative spiritual rhythm which has connected him to God and brought profound peace into his life. Join us as we practice silence together.
