Finding God in Nature: Adventures in Recovery

Episode Overview

  • Hiking trips offer a break from daily distractions.
  • Nature helps clear the mind and bring clarity.
  • The Hebrew word 'midbar' means 'mouthpiece of God'.
  • Being in nature can help you hear the Divine more clearly.
  • Personal adventures can push you to your limits but leave you feeling unstoppable.
In most spiritual literature, we grow up with, man goes into the wilderness to hear the voice of God.
Chuck Swenson and Jason Lyell take you on a journey through the wilderness in this episode of The Freeology Podcast. They dive into the transformative power of nature and how it serves as a gateway to connecting with the Divine. The duo discusses their personal experiences with hiking trips, which they consider the starting point of their recovery programme. These three-day excursions offer a break from the constant distractions of daily life, allowing participants to focus on their spiritual journey.
Chuck and Jason reflect on how being in nature helps clear the mind and brings clarity, even if it doesn’t stop the constant flow of thoughts entirely. They share anecdotes from their own adventures, like the grueling hike in Colorado that pushed them to their limits but left them feeling unstoppable.
They also discuss the Hebrew word for wilderness, 'midbar', which means 'mouthpiece of God', and explore how being in nature can be a way to hear the Divine more clearly. Whether it's hiking up a mountain or simply sitting by a river, Chuck and Jason emphasise the importance of stepping into nature to find peace and perspective.
They wrap up by encouraging everyone to find their own way to connect with the natural world and discover its calming and focusing effects. So, are you ready to lace up your boots and find your own wilderness experience?
