  • Abiding Together Podcast: A New Season of Belonging — A New Season of Belonging (episode 1 season 2) “A tree can be only as strong as the forest that surrounds it." - Peter Wohlleben Welcome to Season 2 In this episode, we talk about beginning a new season, the daily encounter with God, the gift of presence in the moment to moment and the hidden life of trees (as well as nuns with chainsaws!)
  • Loved as I Am: An Invitation to Conversion, Healing, and Freedom through Jesus: S.O.L.T. Miriam James Heidland, Christopher West: 9781594715464: Amazon.com: Books — Loved as I Am: An Invitation to Conversion, Healing, and Freedom through Jesus Paperback – November 3, 2014 by S.O.L.T. Miriam James Heidland
  • The Healing Power of Forgiveness by Sister Miriam James, SOLT on Vimeo — In this moving story of her journey from difficulty to hope and joy, Sister Miriam James Heidland shows how forgiveness is the key to healing and happiness.
  • From Darkness Into God’s Marvelous Light | ncregister.com — From Darkness Into God’s Marvelous Light A former college partygoer tells how she found happiness as a SOLT sister. TRENT BEATTIE SEATTLE — Church was the last thing on Sharon Heidland’s mind when she entered college in the fall of 1994. Having received a full volleyball scholarship to the University of Nevada-Reno, she was living 800 miles away from home and pursuing her own path toward what she thought would bring happiness. “My goal entering college was to succeed at sports and build skills for a successful career,” she explained. “I wanted to be either a businesswoman or a journalist. Above all, I wanted to do something great with my life, something extraordinary. I thought ultimate happiness would be wealth, prestige, glamour and power.”
  • When Everything You Thought You Wanted Isn't Enough - The Coming Home Network — I knew the things I was doing were wrong, but I was just so incredibly broken. In 12-step recovery programs, there’s a saying that “you’re only as sick as your secrets.” That was me. I had so many secrets, and I was so toxic inside.… I knew what was right and what was wrong; I’d been raised well. But because I was so broken, I continued to make choices that kept leading me down a path of hurt and shame.
  • 3 Questions to Detect Sports Idolatry — God didn’t create sports; people did. But people created sports in response to the world God created. Sports are capable of providing spectacular glimpses of truth, beauty, and goodness as athletes tune and discipline their bodies to perform amazing feats. Indeed, I consider sports to be a competitive manifestation of the performing arts. But God’s gifts are always in danger of getting turned into idols. We can so fixate on something good that it subtly morphs into something ultimate. Any time we think we can’t be happy or satisfied without something, we’ve made it a counterfeit god, an object of worship, an idol.
