When you think about your life, where do you find the sacred?

#chaplaincy #spirituality #podcast #sacred
An illustrated graphic with swirling brushstroke textures in earth tones (blues, browns, and golds) poses the question: “What Makes Something Sacred?” in large, bold lettering at the top. Below it, a subtitle reads: “The Four Qualities That Define Sacredness.” Four symbolic icons are arranged in a grid, each paired with a descriptor: • A gold star with the caption “Set apart or elevated” • A heart with the caption “Evokes connection and meaning” • Two uplifted hands with the caption “Carries emotional or spiritual weight” • An eye with radiating lines and the caption “Recognized through attention, reflection, or naming” The overall aesthetic is warm, contemplative, and spiritual, evoking themes of reverence and meaning.

You might be surprised by who or what can teach you about your own spirituality…

A golden retriever sits cross-legged in a meditative pose, with its eyes closed and front paws raised in a mudra gesture, as if deep in peaceful reflection. The background features concentric circles in warm hues of yellow, orange, and purple, creating a spiritual and retro vibe. Bold cream-colored text above the dog reads, “IS YOUR DOG A SPIRITUAL TEACHER?” and below the dog it says, “EPISODE 2 MIGHT CONVINCE YOU.” The overall design is eye-catching and whimsical, suggesting a playful yet thoughtful exploration of spirituality.

What brings you a sense of connection in your life?
An expressive, painterly illustration featuring warm, swirling shades of blue, orange, and red. The image shows pairs of people engaging in simple, everyday moments of connection: dancing, walking hand in hand, sharing a meal, and holding hands while talking. In the center, elegant script reads: “Name one ordinary thing that brings you a sense of connection.” The overall mood is warm, reflective, and emotionally intimate.

What’s sacred to you?

#spirituality #podcast #sacredspace
A retro-styled, psychedelic poster features a bearded man with long hair, eyes closed in bliss, playing an electric guitar. He wears an orange shirt with a smiling daisy on it. One hand strums the guitar while the other is raised, fingers forming the rock-and-roll hand sign. Behind him, colorful concentric circles radiate outward, with celestial and symbolic icons like a crescent moon, star, and glowing flower. The background fades from orange to dark teal. Bold white text at the top reads: “TO ASCRIBE SACREDNESS IS TO TRANSFORM” and at the bottom: “—WHAT WE NAME BECOMES MORE MEANINGFUL.”

A mixed-media-style artwork features a Black woman with closed eyes and natural hair, wearing a red and orange patterned garment and large gold hoop earrings. Her expression is serene and contemplative. Behind her is a quilt-like background composed of vibrant, painterly patchwork in shades of blue, orange, and red. To the right of the woman is a glowing candle, symbolizing warmth and reflection. Below the candle is a stitched-text panel that reads: “YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE RELIGIOUS TO HAVE SACRED SPACE, SACRED ARTIFACTS, OR SACRED EXPERIENCES.” The overall style combines elements of quilting, collage, and figurative painting, evoking both cultural richness and emotional depth.

Goodness gracious! Look at this beauty from our garden!

(my wife is the gardening, I just reap the benefits.)

#roses #bloomscrolling #spirituality #sacred
A close-up image of a deep red rose in full bloom, taken indoors near a window. The rose petals are velvety and rich in color, with subtle highlights and shadows enhancing their texture. In the background, there is a mesh screen over the window, with soft, blurred greenery and daylight visible through it. The rose’s green leaves and stem are partially visible at the bottom of the image.

An illustrated image features warm, sunset-toned hues and displays the following quote in bold white text: **"Sometimes the sacred is ordinary: a bowl of noodles, a car ride, or the prickly hairs of your son’s fresh haircut."** Beneath the text, three symbolic scenes are illustrated: * On the left, a steaming bowl of noodles with a spoon. * In the center background, a car driving into the sunset with two silhouetted passengers. * On the right, a young Black boy in profile, smiling with his eyes closed, showing a fresh, closely-cropped haircut. The overall tone evokes warmth, intimacy, and the quiet sacredness found in everyday moments.

🎸✨ What if naming something sacred changes everything?

🌟 What do you call sacred? A place? A moment? A ritual? A feeling?
Let it shape how you move through the world.

A vintage-style digital poster features a long-haired man with a beard, eyes closed in a blissful expression, playing an electric guitar. He wears a red shirt with a large yellow smiley-face flower design. His right hand forms the “rock on” gesture. Behind him, concentric cosmic rings radiate outward in shades of blue and orange, with a glowing daisy above his raised hand, a crescent moon to the left, and a star in the center. At the top, bold cream-colored text reads: “TO ASCRIBE SACREDNESS IS TO TRANSFORM” At the bottom, it continues: ”—WHAT WE NAME BECOMES MORE MEANINGFUL.” The color palette evokes a retro sunset, blending warm browns, oranges, and teal blues.

🔍 “To ascribe sacredness is to transform the experience—what we name becomes more meaningful.”
What are you calling sacred these days?

#SacredSpacePodcast #SpiritualCare #MeaningAndPurpose #SacredMoments #NamingMatters #RetroWisdom
A retro-style poster features a swirling teal background with stars and a large hand holding a magnifying glass. Inside the magnifying glass is the word “SACRED” in bold black letters. Above it, the quote reads: “TO ASCRIBE SACREDNESS IS TO TRANSFORM THE EXPERIENCE—WHAT WE NAME BECOMES MORE MEANINGFUL.” The typography is bold and vintage, evoking the feel of a mid-century educational or propaganda poster.

A deep red rose in full bloom is shown in close-up, positioned near a window with a mesh screen. Soft daylight filters through the screen, casting a gentle, diffused glow on the petals. The rose’s velvety texture and rich color stand out against the muted green foliage and blurred outdoor background.

A joyful group of four adults sits close together in a cozy podcast studio. All are wearing headphones and speaking into microphones. The person in front, taking the selfie, has a big smile and a beard. Behind him, a woman in rainbow sunglasses and a striped shirt, a woman in a light gray quarter-zip, and a man in a red jacket and checkered shirt smile warmly at the camera. A small round table in front of them holds drinks, snacks, and papers, adding to the casual, collaborative vibe.

What if the most sacred thing isn’t a place—but a moment of deep connection? A look, a word, a shared silence. The sacred lives in the meaning we exchange.

#SacredSpacePodcast #SpiritualCare #TheSacred #Connection #Chaplaincy #WellBeing
A digital graphic features a swirling background of deep blues and purples, resembling Van Gogh’s Starry Night. Centered in elegant white serif font is the quote: “What is sacred is those moments of deep connection—where there’s an exchange of meaning between people or things.” In the bottom right corner, the Sacred Space Podcast logo appears in small, white text.

An illustrated poster features a dynamic and surreal collage-style scene. At the center is a caricatured version of Shaquille O’Neal joyfully dunking a bright green Tupperware container through a basketball hoop. Behind him, a swirling cosmic sky with a crescent moon adds a spiritual, psychedelic vibe. In the background, a long-haired heavy metal guitarist shreds on stage while a cheering concert crowd throws up metal hand signs. The bold title at the top reads, “SHAQ, HEAVY METAL AND TUPPERWARE,” followed by the subtitle “Spirituality Beyond…” in smaller text. The image blends pop culture, music, humor, and cosmic spirituality into one eclectic, vibrant design.
