Introducing Discernment

What is Discernment?

The goal is to become a certain kind of person - not just to make good choices.

*Our communion with God restores our communication with God.

— Discernment is about restoration into the community of the Trinity

— We are ‘foundationally relational’ (Rohr)

Cf. Getting to know the voice of God akin to knowing the relationship with others

NOTE: what is the emotional framework that drives my understanding? (Ref. James KA Smith)

Cf. the realities of emotional unhealth and depression

If discernment is not commiserate with suffering, it is not Christian discernment
