Finding Home: Discovering the place where your soul belongs

by Colleen Johnson

Overview

This book takes a unique approach to the idea of soul care by comparing it to the concept of home. When we allow Jesus to do a transformational work in our souls to give us the feeling of home; loved, secure, nourished, accepted and healing every day. When we make it a practice to cultivate Jesus' presence within us, we will feel at home in our inner being instead of being spiritually and emotionally "homeless". When we cultivate the presence of Jesus and work through key soul care principles and develop a rhythm of a practices that incorporate the spiritual disciplines of feeding on God's Word, worship and thanksgiving, listening prayer, praying scripture, and times of fasting and solitude it leads our soul home. These practices create an atmosphere that God uses to fill us with more of Himself and His ways. The more of God we have, the more He guides us to tear down walls of self-protection, find the truth of who we are in Christ, and defeat the attacks of our enemy, Satan, so that we start walking more as Jesus walked. This process brings our soul to the home where it belongs.

About the Author

"I am a licensed Pastor with a bachelor’s degree in Bible and Theology, Elementary Education and a Masters in Pastoral Counseling. I am currently on staff at Mountain Lake Alliance Church. I am married to Doug and have three grown children, two of whom are married, and a granddaughter who I love to hang out with and spoil.

I grew up in a small town where I learned the value of family, love, grace and was given a strong work ethic. I also lived in a large city for 20 years learning the importance of family and friendship. I have gone through trauma, verbal and emotional abuse, divorce, chronic pain and illness, all of which ravished my soul and carried it far from a healthy place. Through learning how to lean into Jesus and his care, and vital soul care principles God has restored and healed me and I have found a safe haven for my soul to live.
