Freedom to Say No (M1-08)

This episode of the Transformation Intensive podcast delves into Week 8 of the First Movement, titled 'The Freedom to Say No.' It outlines the week's focus on the human freedom to say “no” to God and its consequences in this life and the next. It also introduces the Ignatian prayer exercise called “A Meditation on Hell” and emphasizes the concept affective union with God.

It includes some suggestions for finding peace in the season of Advent, the invitation to experience the weekly prayer exercises as a personal encounter with Jesus rather than a chore, and a guided experience of the Trinitarian Triple Colloquy prayer exercise.
