The Mindful Sojourner
"Awaken to the sacred seasons of scripture, and cultivate mindfulness for daily life."
Feeling overwhelmed by the pace of modern life and yearning for something that brings peace? The Mindful Sojourner invites you into the rhythm of the Christian liturgical year, where scripture and mindfulness intersect.
Guided by Rev. Rachel Isabell, MDiv, this podcast serves as a contemplative guide that leads you through the enriching liturgical readings of the Christian year. Each episode includes a mindfulness moment for deeper contemplation. Discover how ancient texts and the wisdom of Christian mysticism can illuminate your path for a more present, faith-filled life.
The Mindful Sojourner
Luke 14, Counting the Cost
What does it mean to truly follow Jesus? In this episode of The Mindful Sojourner, Rev. Rachel Isabell reflects on Luke 14:25–33 and the call to count the cost of discipleship. Through Scripture, reflection, and the wisdom of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, we explore how surrender to Christ reorders our loyalties and frees us for a deeper, more intentional life of faith.
You will be guided through a breath prayer, “Christ, I surrender all,” and a streamside visualization to release burdens and rest in God’s presence.
Join us on this contemplative journey to awaken to Scripture, cultivate mindfulness, and walk more fully in Christ’s love.
Thank you for being part of The Mindful Sojourner community.
