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.

  • Link in bio. Got some big news. The 5 Masculine Instincts Study Guide is now available in print. If you're looking for a resource for a men's group, Father's Day, or retreat, I think it would work great. There is a video series, YouVersion plans, and an assessment.
  • Soundcheck for the recital. They nailed it. They continue to impress me with their talent, and most importantly, their work ethic.
  • Boat is clean and ready for the season.
  • Hard to believe this girl has graduated from kindergarten. Class of 2035…
  • First ever game of kid pitch baseball. Going to be a fun season.
  • Another great week in Holland Michigan at the Eugene Peterson Center. I’m learning a lot and forming so many friendships with amazing writers and people. Can’t wait to read all the work that will come out of these years… and fun to see a familiar cover at the Baker Book House in Grand Rapids.
  • Can’t think of a better way to have spent my birthday morning. Will‘s first turkey hunt. He did great. The bird came in gobbling and strutting. Doesn’t get much better.
  • Someone gave Charlotte a bag of googly eyes. She has been glueing them on everything she can turn into a face.
