San Fran Talks: Mapping Spiritual Growth

Today we are talking from San Francisco! This week we talked about maps and models for spiritual growth: why we need maps to help us know where we are, what kind of models are out there (from the ancient mystics to classical psychology).

Since we’re new to this podcasting thang, we’re getting our bearings on who gets interviewed/how to stay on topic. We roamed a bit on this one so we apologize for the length!

Stay tuned for next week’s talk, in which Derek shares a specific map of the spiritual journey straight from one of the oldest stories in the Book.

Authors we mentioned:

  • Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila

  • Dark Night of the Soul by St. John of the Cross

  • Renovation of the Heart by Dallas Willard

  • Falling Upward by Richard Rohr

  • Letting Go of Your Past by John Sandford

  • Erik H. Erikson (classical secular psychology writer on human development)
