Listen To This | A Chat with Rob Bell!
A Podcast Rec for Monday, February 17th
Welcome to Listen to This, a new feature within Welcome Wanderer. Each day, I share a favorite podcast episode or audiobook —something that moved me, challenged me, or simply made life a little brighter.
Podcast of The Day: The RobCast | Part 2 WHAT WE DO 2025 TALK | Feb 13 2025 | 34 min
Why It Mattered To Me:
Rob has a way of pulling me out of any sort of malaise I’m wedged in and showing me the bigger picture AND then how to navigate through the muddiness with a smile on my face! Please do yourself a favor right now and listen to part 1 and part 2 of his What We Do 2025 talks. Rob is so relatable and human and makes us feel like we’re just hanging out in his living room having a chat.
These Words Made Me Pause:
“Fatigue and despair and a sense of powerlessness always make us vulnerable politically.”
“But actually part of the healing that the whole system is asking for is that we begin to care for ourselves and love ourselves with the kind of love that we want to see more and more in the world, at the most interpersonal all the way to the largest international ways.
If you don’t know where to start when it comes to caring for yourself Rob suggests:
“Try starting with whatever it is that feels too good to be true, try that.
Or what is it that you do when you do it you immediately feel selfish?”
Or what is it that feels like a guilty pleasure? By the way, how jacked up is a culture that “guilty pleasure” is a fairly common phrase, that if it’s pleasurable, you ought to feel guilty about it?
I missed putting out a Sunday podcast potion yesterday, but I’m sure you all survived;) Thanks for being here with me!
Question for you: I’d love to hear what you do that feels immediately selfish?!
With joy,
Charissa
PS: Not sure how long this experiment will last, but I hope you enjoy receiving an audio rec a day to build your curiosity and bring some wisdom to your path.
