Jeff Crosby | The Heart of a Discerning Leader, Episode 4
Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Jeff Crosby
“Embracing the mystery is good enough” – Jeff Crosby
Jeff Crosby joins the podcast to talk about longings – the inner ache and sadness that we feel at times. From Jeff’s newest book, The Language of the Soul: Meeting God in the Longings of our Hearts, Jeff teaches that the longings we experience are places for God to meet us. Jeff walks us through several longings from the book – the longing for home, for friendship, for heaven and for an undivided life. All of us carry longings in our hearts. The invitation is to be attentive to those longings and invite the Lord of the universe to meet with us in the midst of them and to take time to cultivate spiritual practice that makes us more aware of God’s presence in our lives.
