Alicia Brummeler | Everywhere God - a podcast by Matthew David Brough - Helping you stay connected to God | Let God Be God | Let God Be Present

"When I look beyond my own circumstances and catch these other glimmers of how God is moving and acting in the world and in other peoples' lives, then I realize He is here with me..."—Alicia Brummeler

Episode 56 of Spirituality for Ordinary People features an interview with Alicia Brummeler. In it, we focus on her book, Everywhere God: Exploring the Ordinary Places. We discuss encountering God in when spiritually adrift, having or not having tangible experiences of God, encountering God in rituals, encountering God in literature.

Key Learnings

Having friends who sit with, pray with, or are present with you are so important.

Universalizing spiritual experience, particularly for others, in times of dryness, is not helpful.

Things to Think About

Do we trust that God is, in fact, at work even when we don't seem to experience God?
