Ep . 5 - Mindfully Reframing Repentance | The Practice of Stillness

Even disciples of Jesus Christ can feel that repentance is heavy and shaming. In this episode, hosts Jacob Hess and Carrie Skarda turn that thinking around, showing how principles of mindfulness can help you flip your experience to one of encouragement, relief and healing.

The Practice of Stillness is a 10-part video series teaching how a gentle internal slowing down may help in your growing relationship with God. This series is for any religious seeker, and particularly members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
