About this series theme
Awe is a profound emotional response that can significantly impact our wellbeing and perception of the world. Awe often arises from experiences that transcend our usual understanding, such as viewing vast landscapes, listening to powerful music, encountering extraordinary acts of kindness, or feeling heightened devotion and a Divine Presence connecting us all. To be a “Purveyor of Awe” is to be intentional about curating a life of spiritual depth. This has implications not only for one’s own life, but also as motivation to tend to the wellbeing of others.
Friends, I’ve been on a journey of discovery for a few years now about “elements for curating a life of spiritual depth.” I have been curious about incorporating modern research from the sciences and wisdom from the mystics alongside biblical texts. What I discovered was that “awe” is at the core. My new offering is a fully-scripted series about awe that explores the elements of Awe, Beauty, Wonder, Meaning, Curiosity, Delight, Connection, and Self-Giving as essential elements of our human experience firmly embedded in our faith traditions but also relevant for those who do not have a religious practice. I call it “Purveyors of Awe” because I aim to convince you, spiritual leaders, that one of the most important things you can do for your communities (churches as well as the wider community) is to advocate and provide opportunities for practices of awe. I am convinced it is what the world needs now, more than ever, and you are uniquely equipped to be a “Purveyor of Awe.”
