Presence And Practice

Mark Scandrette - IJ, Learning Labs and puttings things into practice

John + Sungshim Loppnow

In this episode of the Presence in Practice podcast, I speak with Mark Scandrette, an author and spiritual leader focused on applying Jesus' teachings in everyday life. We discuss his book "Practicing the Way of Jesus" and his work with Reimagine to promote community-based learning. Mark shares insights on authentic relationships within faith communities, the importance of sustained learning, and actionable spiritual practices.

We explore Immanuel journaling as a transformative tool for deeper engagement with God and discuss how personal and communal spiritual growth can intertwine. Mark also highlights the role of family in shaping spiritual formation, drawing from his experience in fostering intentional family cultures. Our conversation invites listeners to cultivate authentic relationships with God and one another through intentional practice and community.
