Thank you for this thoughtful live. It definitely made me think. I believe the answer to the mystery of the heart/mind issue lies in the soul of man. The soul is the essence of a person that includes thoughts and emotions, the inner world of a person. For me, the church building is where we meet to worship God, to learn, to be taught and to fellowship with one another. Worship is not limited or confined to the building, it can be done anywhere or anytime in a group or alone. God is in everything, He is omnipresent. An important mission of an organized church, a community, is that of benevolence and outreach of service. Much of aid in areas of need is done by organized churches. Thank you Paola and Graham for your time and energy to discuss such interesting and impactful subjects. I enjoyed your live and the nature setting. Continued blessings.
Thank you Graham and Paola for this very interesting live. Loved the outdoors!
I have to say heart and mind is in our soul. I love going to Church not because someone told me that is the only place I could worship. Christians can meet and worship God under a tent, outside in open spaces etc… I believe we should surround ourselves with other Christian’s so we don’t be caught up in the worldly things in our fellowship with God. Minister to others in need no matter the need, food, clothes, money or just spend time loving a person . The Holy Spirit leads us all if we stay in tune with our spirit. Being in Church on Sunday gives me what I need to get through another week. I never know what I might be facing. I choose to stay grounded in the word. Thank you both for letting me share from my❤️
Interesting discussion. So much to explore with this topic. I don't think it's either/or where God is-- nature, church or anywhere else. God is everywhere. He is the creator of everything. I love church because it is a community that comes together to worship, learn more of who he is, serve him and serve others. I love nature bc it is a reflection of God's beauty and power. We can feel God's presence within when we open up to him & seek a relationship with him, no matter where we are. God can't be put in a box, that's for sure. I think God is a mystery, a wonder, infinite and powerful. I personally think God sent Jesus Christ as Emmanuel, God with us, to bridge the gap between God and man and to reconcile us to God.
What a great conversation. I love hearing what others think about how God works. For me, the "heart" that I follow is the Holy Spirit that scripture tells us indwells - God in us, and is the one who knows what is about to happen, like knowing what the computer will flash before it happens. If we can tune into the Spirit, it has those messages that we ask for and need to receive for guidance. I call them nudges, but I believe it's the Spirit speaking to our hearts. I really related to some of the things each of you expressed. Isn't it fun to explore what we believe? God is so beyond our human comprehension! The conversations never get stale.
Graham and Paola, It was so pleasant to be surrounded by nature, listening to the birdsong and your conversation. I respect your faith. I hope you continue to have wonderful adventures at your own pace. 👍 I wish you all the best happiness. 💐🌸🤭🤗
Graham and Paola…this discussion was so inspiring and what I like was your spontaneous responses to each other’s comment. And I like the venue so much…being in nature is the perfect place for this theme. Thank you guys so much. You both are amazing and so beautiful together. Blessings 🙏
Thought provoking live - see Hebrews 10:25 regarding assembly of believers and Matthew 16:18 regarding establishment of the church. Also reference Jeremiah 17:9 about the deceitfulness of the heart.
While in Nature, do not follow where the path may lead, go where there is no path and leave a trail. Feel God’s presence and surrender to His perfect and Blessed Will. Ask God to silence your thoughts so you can hear His voice . Every time you are in nature, I know you will see what I see, for in these moments, you will be as joyful as you can be. Loved your Podcast….always…uplifting!
Graham & Paola, great topic and discussion. Thank you for using your God-given communication skills and your personal connection with God to encourage others to know the Creator, to grow spiritually. Months ago I learned this truth from Graham. I feel best in a soul nourishing environment: out in the forrest, out in nature, out in the ocean. I continually seek soul nourishing environments!
Graham and Paola, this was an awesome chat, great conversation while out in nature..perfect combination. In answer to your question yes, I have felt God's presence while in nature. One of the ways I feel most connected to God is when I sit in silence and watch the sunrise, I feel his presence as the gift of a new day unfolds--the beauty, wonder of creation fills my heart and soul.
Last August I had one of the most amazing experiences of feeling God's love and guidance in appearance of a rainbow. I was on my way to spread my husband's ashes at his favorite fishing lake, as I was approaching the lake a beautiful full rainbow appeared right in front of me...I could even see where it touched the ground on both ends. I pulled over to the side of the road, got out in the rain to fully take in the experience...I felt love surround me with a sense of God telling me it's where I was to be, the right path. As I am writing this my eyes are teary recalling the reassurance of God's love that came over me.
Continued blessings, looking forward to more inspiring conversations like this one!
Loved this live! Short, interesting, and such a great conversation. The outdoor, back-to-back format in nature was absolutely perfect. 🤩

God created all of us animals and birds and he created earth and heaven I pray every day he created all of us.
