Show Notes:24. Peter Scazzero — The Emotionally Healthy Writer

I first encountered Pete’s book, Emotionally Healthy Leadership, through a pastors group that meet’s quarterly to discuss assigned readings. Like myself, Pete’s book was a favorite for nearly everyone in the group.

In an age of strategic planning, pragmatic evaluations, and extreme productivity, the contemplative spirituality and emotional health Pete recommends is like a cool breeze blowing in from the open window. Pete reminds us all valuable lessons like, beware of doing for God before being with God.

In our conversation, we cover Pete’s own journey to emotional health and how his contemplative approach to spirituality has impacted his writing and his calling as a writer.

  • A couple days chasing birds together is hard to beat.
  • Updated family photos (missing: 3 cats and the rest of the chickens...)
  • We couldn’t find her anywhere. Finally found her.… also, Ashley always beats me to posting the good photos.
  • In one month, I submit the draft of my new book, A More Physical Faith, to the publisher, NavPress. My first notes for this book go back to 2024. I share more personally in this book than anything I’ve ever written. Some people write and publish faster, but books usually represent at least 2 to 3 years of work for me. Just wanted to share this milestone. The book won’t be out until next year.
  • Joyeuse Fête des Mères à la meilleure maman qui soit. On t'aime et on a de la chance de t'avoir. Partons en France !
  • Happy early birthday to myself.
  • Hard to beat.
  • There’s a new tour open at Notre Dame in which you can take the stairs up through the bell tower to the roof. Pretty spectacular.
