Practically Divine

by Becca Stevens

When we allow ourselves to embrace both ordinary and extraordinary experiences, we can feel the divine anywhere.

No matter where we are--on a walk in the woods, in a sacred building, or in a dusty refugee camp--signs of love abound. There is no secret formula to experiencing the sacred in our lives, it just takes practice and practicality.

You're invited to search this path with entrepreneur Becca Stevens as she explores what it means to be practically divine. Woven throughout the narrative are poetry and rants, as well as ruminations on her mother's wit, wisdom, and passion.

In Practically Divine, Becca shares how to live a life that's practically divine by:

Redefining old lies and stories, to learn from the past
Appreciating the gifts that come from imperfections or trauma
Using creativity to spark new revolutions
Accepting the chaos of the unknown before us with courage
Sharing in a feast of love, knowing there's enough mercy and forgiveness

Embracing the practically divine compels us to do something, anything, to share in the feast of love together. When we start from wherever we are, we can recognize the potential for humor, wonder, and freedom.

Practically Divine teaches you to use your senses to transform information into holy compassion. When we open our hearts to it, we can experience the divine anywhere - like sacred breadcrumbs marking our path.

Becca Stevens spoke at our clergy conference in November of 2018. She told compelling stories about her life and challenged members of the group to be hopeful, experimental, and compassionate in their work. Even people who are typically distracted during lectures were enthralled by Becca's engaging and thoughtful presentation.

Church of the Redeemer

Hearing Becca speak in a vast auditorium is like hearing her preach to 60 in a small church; hearing her speak to 600 at a diocesan convention is like being in a conversation with her in a hallway. She brings keen intelligence, wise observations, and down-home humor to her preaching and speaking.
