Ep. 1: The Way of Love: Spiritual Practices for a Jesus-Focused Life
So often we think of the Christian faith as an obligation, or as a set of beliefs that we must hold. There are obligations and beliefs, but if we get stuck there, we can lose sight of, or never experience at all, what is most important. At its heart, Christianity offers an invitation to experience a loving, personal relationship with God. It’s a relationship we can trust, where we can find refuge and solid ground upon which to stand.
The Way of Love is the journey of a lifetime. It’s a way of knowing God, receiving and sharing Jesus’ love, and being a blessing to the world. -
Ep 2: The Way of Love: TURN
Turning is but one of seven practices in the Jesus-focused life. It’s the starting point when we first make the decision to turn toward the one who has come to us. We turn to him in need of forgiveness and strength. It’s a choice we make every day, to turn toward him and then to follow where he leads. But remember, as you turn, that he turns to you, first, and to me, in love.

Ep 3: The Way of Love: To Learn
Reflecting on Jesus’ life and teaching can shed spiritual light on your life. Jesus says in the Gospel of John that we can only speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen. So let me give you a bit of my personal testimony: how God spoke to my life through a particular story from gospels that hat has become part of my spiritual narrative

Ep 4: The Way of Love: To Pray
Prayer is a vital component of the Way of Love. Prayer does not have to be complex, long, or anxious. Prayer is a time in which we are able to bring our full selves to God trusting that God, with the help of the Holy Spirit, will hear our longings and concerns. So let me give you a bit of my personal testimony: how God spoke to my life in a time of prayer.

Customer Reviews
The Way of Love
Bishop Budde wrote this inspiration on my birthday, October 17, 2018. It was written just for me. As we traverse the slippery slopes of Capitol Hill, daily worship of her soothing voice helps us calm and be still in the silence to acknowledge Jesus in our home. The communion table in our home is graced with fresh flowers, fruit and candles as we open our bibles to worship God. We feel God's presence. Join us as we move forward to "Take on Lent" at the National Cathedral. The Way of Love in the Jesus Movement of the Episcopal Church is love divine all love excelling!
Thank you!
In this polarizing and heated times in the US political environment, Bishop Budde reminds us who we are and how to live into the place Gad has called us - members of the Beloved Community.
Great way to break into my churches teachings
Bishop Budde’s manner is helpful, her teaching direct, and her way of moving through the material makes me want to know more about the church.
The way of that have come out of Bishop Curry’s office is incredibly helpful And makes me want to know Jesus just that much more.
So listen to this podcast learn about what’s important in life and step more deeply into the way of love.
