Dr. Patrice Gerideau — writer, theologian, and contemplative — this podcast offers soundbite-sized sanctuary moments through scripture, reflection, and contemplative practice. Each episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, and notice God’s presence in the midst of ordinary life. Whether you are weary of always being the “strong one,” longing for rest, or seeking a deeper way of living and leading from the inside out, this space is for you. Step inside. Do the work your soul must have.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/soulwork-sanctuary-7082256"},"episode":{"title":"e70 Learning to See: The Word","slug":"e70-learning-to-see-the-word","published_at":"2026-02-01T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/soulwork-sanctuary-7082256/e70-learning-to-see-the-word","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/soulwork-sanctuary-7082256","url":"https://patriceonline.com/e70-learning-to-see-the-word","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/83eb3ec5-10a3-45de-b16e-3df5395bf047.mp3","summary":"SoulWork&nbsp;Notes Learning&nbsp;to&nbsp;See:&nbsp;The&nbsp;Word,&nbsp;a&nbsp;meditation&nbsp;on&nbsp;John&nbsp;1:1-5 Welcome&nbsp;to&nbsp;our&nbsp;series,&nbsp; Learning&nbsp;to&nbsp;See .&nbsp;For&nbsp;the&nbsp;months&nbsp;of&nbsp;February,&nbsp;March,&nbsp;and&nbsp;April—including&nbsp;the&nbsp;season&nbsp;of&nbsp;Lent—we&nbsp;are&nbsp;making&nbsp;space&nbsp;to&nbsp;walk&nbsp;closely&nbsp;with&nbsp;Jesus&nbsp;through&nbsp;the&nbsp;Gospel&nbsp;of&nbsp;John,&nbsp;learning&nbsp;to&nbsp;see&nbsp;him&nbsp;as&nbsp;he&nbsp;reveals&nbsp;himself.&nbsp;We&nbsp;will&nbsp;be&nbsp;using&nbsp;a&nbsp;favorite&nbsp;prayer&nbsp;method&nbsp;-&nbsp;Lectio&nbsp;Divina,&nbsp;a&nbsp;Latin&nbsp;phrase&nbsp;that&nbsp;translates&nbsp;as&nbsp;“Divine&nbsp;Reading”&nbsp;but&nbsp;simply&nbsp;means&nbsp;a&nbsp;close&nbsp;reading&nbsp;of&nbsp;a&nbsp;passage&nbsp;of&nbsp;scripture.
