How to Find God in Unexpected Places: The Examen for Today

Tuesday, May 12, 2026 • Duration 31:04

Most of us were trained to look for God in the big moments — the breakthrough, the open door, the dramatic call. But what if God is most consistently present in the ordinary moments we rush past every day?

In this episode, I want to share a 500-year-old practice that has quietly transformed my leadership, my marriage, and my relationship with God. It's called the Examen — and I believe it may be the single most underused tool in the modern pastor's spiritual formation toolkit.

I'll take you through the history of this practice, born out of the life of Ignatius of Loyola — a soldier brought low by a cannonball who discovered that God speaks through our interior movements. I'll share the 2-question version you can start today, and the fuller 4-movement practice the Jesuits have done twice a day for five centuries.

This isn't theory. I'll be honest with you about the years I spent pushing past the heaviness in my chest — misreading desolation as something to overcome rather than something to hear. What I missed cost me. You don't have to miss it too.

The Examen interrupts the cycle of leading from wounds and repeating old patterns. It teaches discernment, not just decision-making. And it begins with just two questions.

How to Spend a Day (or Half Day) Alone with God—and Why It Matters

Tuesday, April 28, 2026 • Duration 28:44

Free Resource: Download the Day Alone with God Guide at emotionallyhealthy.org/sabbath

Most leaders I know have a daily time with God. Very few ever stop long enough to actually hear Him.

There's a difference between a longer quiet time and a day alone with God. One sustains you. The other re-orders you. And if you're honest, you know the difference—because you've felt what happens when your life gets disordered and nothing seems to bring it back into focus.

In this episode, I'm walking you through how to spend a half day—or full day—alone with God, and why this practice may be the most important thing missing from your leadership right now. We'll look at how Jesus, Moses, Elijah, and Anna all built extended withdrawal into their lives with God—not as a luxury, but as a necessity.

I'll also share a simple six-movement structure you can use right away, along with the fears and resistances that keep most leaders from ever doing this.

Your leadership will only go as deep as your life with God. You cannot give what you don't have.

This episode could change everything.

A leadership formation intensive for pastors and leaders. Grow in practical EHD skills such as incarnational listening, clean fighting, and understanding your family of origin to build honest, life-giving relationships rooted in the love of Jesus.

Embracing Holy Interruptions: Leadership Lessons from the Christmas Story

Tuesday, December 23, 2025 • Duration 30:26

Interruptions. We hate them. They mess with our schedules, our comfort, our control. But what if the interruptions in your life are actually invitations from God?

In this episode of the Emotionally Healthy Leader Podcast, Pete Scazzero unpacks how the Christmas story is filled with divine disruptions—from Mary and Joseph, to Herod, to the Magi, and even the religious leaders of the day. Each response to interruption reveals something profound about our own leadership, our spiritual formation, and the God we serve.

Pete invites you to consider:

What interruptions are coming your way right now?
Are you resisting, ignoring, or receiving them?
And what practices can help you stop, listen, and respond like Mary did: “May it be to me as you have said.”

This episode is a vital listen as we enter the holidays and close out the year. God is still interrupting lives—and He may be trying to get your attention.

Disrupting False Peace as God's Path to True Peacemaking Pt. 2

Tuesday, July 26, 2022 • Duration 44:49

For too many years, I thought being a peacemaker was simply being a nice person.

Because of this illusion, I spiritualized my conflict avoidance and created a culture in my church where everyone pretended things were ok. This is the definition of false peace.

In the second part of this series, we explore how Jesus disrupted false peace by cleansing the temple. If you're a people-pleaser, this is a critical message for our day!

Disrupting False Peace as God's Path to True Peacemaking Pt. 1

Tuesday, July 12, 2022 • Duration 43:14

In today's podcast, I share a sermon that goes deeper into this new understanding. I assure you...it changes everything.

Why Our Church Crisis Demands a New Kind of Training

Tuesday, June 28, 2022 • Duration 31:38

Many pastors have been professionally educated and extensively trained.

The problem is – we are facing a massive discipleship crisis. I've found that much of our training doesn't help get at the root of this problem.

Deep change requires a new kind of training.

In today's episode, I cast a biblical vision for why training is not a "once and done" experience but a lifestyle we are called to.
