Turning Habits Into Lifelong Staples - Interview with Marc Alan Schelske

Marc Alan Schelske: Recovering from Performance-Driven Faith & Journaling Your Way to Spiritual Maturity

Can journaling be more than just keeping a diary? Can it actually foster emotional health, honest faith, and deeper connection with God?

This week, author and pastor Marc Alan Schelske returns to the Impact Nations Podcast to share wisdom from his new book, Journaling for Spiritual Growth. Together with Tim, he unpacks how journaling helps us move from religious performance to authentic transformation.

🔍 In This Episode:

• Why most of us approach spiritual disciplines like crash diets—and why they don’t work
• How journaling slows us down and invites honest, Spirit-led reflection
• The spiritual trap of busyness and the power of sitting in silence
• What it means to partner with the Holy Spirit in a process of non-coercive transformation
• How deconstruction and therapy reshaped Marc’s view of God
• Practical tools for building a sustainable journaling habit that leads to real growth
• Using even shallow devotionals to encounter the presence of God
