The Call of the King, Part 1 (M2-09)

This episode of the Transformation Intensive podcast introduces Week 9, “The Call of the King” and marks the beginning of Movement Two in the Ignatian exercises. The discussion reflects on the first movement's focus on understanding one's identity in God as 'loved sinners' and transitions to responding to this identity. Key themes include gratitude, awe, fear of the Lord, and reflection on Psalm 95. The episode also covers Ignatius' symbolic surrender in Montserrat and the emotional resonance of pledging loyalty to Jesus, encouraging listeners to cultivate readiness to respond to God's call.
