Sacred Ordinary Days Podcast, S1|E12: Pentecost + the Holy Spirit

Sacred Ordinary Days Podcast, S1|E12: Pentecost + the Holy Spirt

The season of Eastertide is nearly over, with the feast of Pentecost this coming Sunday, marking its fiftieth and final day.

I love that the feast of Pentecost doesn’t begin another season but instead serves as a capstone and sending to the season of Eastertide. After a season filled with the celebration of new Life, the feast of Pentecost is a time to recognize the life that burns within and sends us with that flame to light the ordinary days that follow.

In today’s episode of the Sacred Ordinary Days Podcast Jenn and I are talking about the history of the feast of Pentecost and our experiences of the Holy Spirit, and also exploring prompts and practices to help us follow the thread of the Holy Spirit (or as I like to say, Sacred Guide) in our everyday lives.

Listen/download below or through iTunes or your favorite podcast app, and catch up on past episodes here. And if you like what you hear, would you mind sharing it with a friend and leaving a review? Here’s how.

What Is Inspiring You? An Invitation for Pentecost

Inspiration

On Wednesday night the stars aligned and I had the opportunity to see and hear—and even for a brief moment meet—author Sue Monk Kidd.

Saying that the stars aligned might seem like a dramatic way to describe it, but in a way, it feels so true. The work of Sue Monk Kidd entered my life long ago and lit a flame within me—a star that grows ever-brighter as I journey closer toward the Divine and my true self—so an encounter in the flesh seems like a Divine occurrence, and I treated it as such.

Sue Monk Kidd inspires me.

The roots of word inspire are close to that of inspiration, which describes an “immediate influence of God.” To be inspired is to be in-spirit, and spirit, as we know from the Hebrew word ruach, means breath or wind. To be inspired is to be filled with the Spirit, and this inspiration moves with the force of a mighty and mysterious wind, causing us to catch our breath as it takes hold of our very being.
