0:00.0	Glory to Jesus Christ. I'm Mother Natalia, a Byzantine Catholic nun from Christ to the Bridegroom
0:04.8	Monastery and this is Pines with Aquinas. My spiritual father and I have a nonprofit that we run together
0:12.1	and this is not a pitch for you to support our
0:14.4	nonprofit. This is to mention that every few months we have a Zoom meeting with
0:20.6	some of the people who support the nonprofit and it's just kind of like a
0:24.1	meet and greet sort of thing but on our last call I asked those a lot of them
0:29.9	listen to these these pints with Aquinas episodes so I asked them if they had any
0:34.3	desires or any ideas for what might be good topics and one of the guys on the
0:41.1	call said he's he's discerning his vocation right now and he said it would be really helpful to have an episode on what not to do when you're discerning your vocation. And I think these, first of all, I thought it was an

1:14.7	vocation, so I don't want you to think that if you're already in your vocation you

1:21.4	helpful to you.
1:23.0	And then also if you want a fuller discussion on this topic,
1:28.0	I thought it was such a good idea that I ended up doing a full topic on it with my spiritual father and I also have a podcast called
1:35.4	what God is not and this Wednesday I think July 24th the episode will be released on which we have a much longer discussion and
1:46.4	so we go over more rules than I'm going to have time to fit into this episode more rules of what to not do when you're discerning.
1:57.0	But yeah, so this is not comprehensive, what I'm going to say today.
2:02.0	These are just some of the things that
2:04.5	came to mind and came on my heart as I was praying to prepare for the episode and it's coming both from these rules of what not to do when you're discerning are coming
2:19.7	both from my personal experience in my own discernment of my vocation. Some of these things were things that I did and learned from.
