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.

The Mindful Sojourner
Luke 15, Carried Home by Love
What does it mean to be sought and celebrated by God? In this episode of The Mindful Sojourner, Rev. Rachel Isabell reflects on Luke 15:1–10 and the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin. These stories reveal a God who searches tirelessly, who carries us home, and who rejoices when the lost are found.
Drawing on the wisdom of St. John of the Cross, we consider how God’s love continues to reach us even in the dark night of the soul. You will be guided into silence with a breath prayer, “You search for me, You carry me home,” and an imaginative practice of resting in the shepherd’s care.
Join us on this contemplative journey and awaken to God’s pursuing love, and discover the joy of being found.
