Faith & theology

Honest work, with God in the room.

Inner work sometimes leads to bigger questions: about meaning, forgiveness, faith, God and who you want to become. Faith is a personal part of my life and my work. When it matters to you, we make room for it. When it doesn't, we leave it out.

Faith and shadow work

Honest work with God in the room

Some men want their faith to be part of this. Christianity has always called people to honesty before God: confession, repentance, grace, and being fully known and still loved. Jesus never taught shadow work, and I won't claim he did. Still, his words about the beam in your own eye (Matthew 7:3) ask for the same kind of honesty.

In a session. If you want this, we can open or close with prayer, sit with a passage of scripture, or use a prayer of honesty around what came up. It's completely optional, and you don't need to be religious for any of the other work.

For you if your faith matters to you and you don't want to leave it at the door.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Matthew 7:3 (KJV)

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Psalm 139:23-24 (KJV)

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 1:9 (KJV)
Practices

Two practices we might use

  • Faith & theologyPrayer of honesty

    Bring what you found to God plainly, using Psalm 139 as a starting point if it helps.

  • Faith & theologyDaily examen

    A short daily prayer taught by Ignatius of Loyola: thank God for the day, look back at where you felt close to him and where you drifted, ask forgiveness where you need it, and ask for help with tomorrow.

Completely optional

Do I need to be religious?

No. Faith and theology are optional. We only bring them in if they matter to you. Inner work, breathwork and integration work the same whether you believe in God or not.
