Loving the Imperfect Podcast

Welcome to Loving the Imperfect podcast, a show for all the imperfect laypeople and seekers of deeper contemplation.  I’m your imperfect host, Brianne Turczynski.

For ten years I’ve studied offerings from holy teachers and holy texts. I’m a teacher and a journalist who has listened to the stories of many people throughout the years. So I thought it was time to share a story or two about my journey and my thoughts on scripture and holy work from different faith traditions and practices: mostly from Sufi teachers, Buddhists, and Christian mystics. 

Thank you for stopping by Loving the Imperfect!

So, join me as we imperfectly and clumsily make our way through each day mustering up compassion for the hours ahead. 

A SPECIAL EPISODE FOR LENT AND GOOD FRIDAY: St. Therese of Lisieux and The Holy Face Devotion – Loving the Imperfect

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Loving The Imperfect. This is a special episode for Lent or Good Friday. We will begin by talking a little bit about St. Therese of Lisieux, the 19th century mystic. And afterward I will talk a little bit about what mysticism is because there's a lot of misconception about that.And then afterward, at the very end of this episode is a holy face meditation that I wrote myself, but I encourage you to add to it, using your own imagination, and thinking about what Jesus, through the senses might have experienced on the cross.I hope that you enjoy this episode and that it's fruitful for you and all these episodes will continue to be fruitful for you as you move forward in your spiritual life. Thank you for listening. For more information about me and my work, please visit http://www.brianneturczynski.com or http://www.lovingtheimperfect.com
