Christmas will be different this year - the lights, the festivities… they've all been canceled. Our plans, our gatherings… it's all going to be different. And yet there's something deep in this advent, in this pandemic, that is for us to understand.
Grab a cup of warm, soothing tea and join Steve as he takes the story of Mary and Joseph and how to live in the blessing of what might be called a Covid Christmas Blessing.
Steve sits down with Peter Ivey and together they talk about The State of the Soul---and how to use the brand new tool they developed for you.
Today’s episode is far more than a podcast: it's the distillation of what Steve and Peter both know about the soul, and how to try to get our hands around our souls--if that is even possible.
Today is the start of our fourth season, and we are changing things up a bit with a new format that will be more reflective, personal, and focused on Soul Care in Anxious Times. This week’s episode is Steve sharing his recent struggles with exhaustion… that deep in the heart, soul weary exhaustion that many of us are struggling with now. It’s a beautiful episode that will speak to your heart and soul and help you find the unforced rhythms of grace.
Last week we laid the foundation and discussed what Rhythm means in our lives. This week we are looking at the Model of Rhythm in the life of Jesus… the perfect example, the way, the truth, and the life for each of us. This is one of the most important topics we share and a game changer for so many!
What is the rhythm of our life/the speed in which we live in? This week’s podcast will help you look at your own rhythm and how the urgency in today’s world should not dictate how you manage and care for your own soul. Steve will take you through the scriptures mentioned below and will then lead us in a reflection on Matthew 11:28-30.
Today is our final part on "The Resilient Life” (Listen to Part 1, The Resilient Life: In The Wilderness and Part 2, The Resilient Life: Living and Leading the Resilient Life)
It’s a conversation between Steve and Kelley Mossburg, a market leader, on how he learned to rebuild his life with resilience. It's such an honest witness to how a man hit a wall--then learned to rebuild his entire life. You will not want to miss this.
Effective leaders work very hard to succeed, but often at the cost of their own souls. They are challenged to keep themselves emotionally and spiritually healthy in order to survive success to keep their humanity intact. This is the work within the work, and the topic of today’s podcast.
Today we turn the tables as we re-air an interview Steve gave to Warren Smith, publisher of "WORLD "magazine, and producer and host of the nationally syndicated radio program "Listening In."
We struggle to identity ourselves, but what is the real truth about our Identity?
Today Dustin is talking about Identity with David Sachsenmaier, a trained and certified executive coach whose identity was challenged by a family crisis as a child and now focuses on identity as a cornerstone in his work with others.

How do we determine where we are on the spiritual journey? It can be 1 step forward, 2 steps back! This is what we call the Critical Journey, a model that includes 6 stages in our journey in Soul Care. Today we will be discussing the first three stages (next week we will discuss the final three stages):
1. The Recognition of God
2. The Life of Discipleship
3. The Productive Life
All of us are looking to discover God’s will. We all need clarity in making decisions. This exciting conversation between Steve and Father Tim Corbley unpacks spiritual discernment, defined as the art of finding clarity. Through discernment, our goal is to “find God in all things.” Father Tim was Steve Smith’s spiritual guide for year long journey Steve took in 2017, called The Ignatian Exercises. This conversation is like listening to two seasoned souls talk of deep things.
Our team is excited to launch this Pilot Episode of the new podcast from Potter’s Inn! Listen now as we gathered around the lunch table to discuss our hopes and dreams for this podcast. Then, hear a excerpts of conversations we had in making future episodes: Kaylene and Gwen talk about Sabbath Keeping, Gwen discussed the importance of our individual story, Steve and Gwen interview Dr. Randy James about the Body-Soul connection, Steve sits with Scott Stearman, a sculpture, as they unpack the shaping of our souls, and Dustin chats heart-to-heart with Kevin Miller, a friend and host of the Ziglar Show Podcast. Finally, we introduce a “Moment to Breath,” which will be contemplative opportunity in each episode to listen to a poem, story, or reading to reflect on. Today, Joe Chambers reads the poem Fire by Judy Brown.
