SHIFT Blog - by Jody Thone
 On Purpose Ministries has focused new energy on all the unique ways that people connect to God and SHIFT to our True Selves, (God expressing through you.) I hope you’ve seen the Adult Ministries Fall Guide and the practices of lectio divina, the prayer of examen and big.bible.conversations. We’d like to introduce a new resource, a blog entitled, SHIFT: Spiritual Practices for an Authentic Life. Check it out at www.jodythone.wordpress.com
Some of you may be asking…
What’s a blog?
A blog is a type of website with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material. My blog is about spiritual practices and will describe my experiences with daily practice. You’ll also see other regular contributors sharing their perspectives and experiences on a variety of spiritual practices. I invite you all to join in this conversation about living
On Purpose, about living your authentic life. Please consider sharing how you are SHIFTing!
Here’s a look inside…
Spiritual Practices for an Authentic Life
Which person will show up today? The Self that is centered, present, and connected to God or the self that is separate, fearful and trying to control life? The difference between Self and self is a conscious SHIFT. We know that it is neurologically easier to let our mind/body operate from fear than it is to operate from a state of gratitude, love and presence. We need practices to live authentic lives, practices for SHIFTing.
Research shows
that 80% of learning that happens within an organization is informal learning. Both individuals and groups engage in informal
learning by reading, listening, watching, discussing, sharing, collecting, and collaborating. Social media tools such as Facebook, Twitter, and blogs are great ways to support social, informal learning at Trinity.
Fact: This is Trinity’s second blog. Visit Pastor Siri’s blog on big.bible.conversations at:
