Wellsprings Congregation

Asking ourselves to HALT (when we're Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) is a great tool. However, Rev. Ken Beldon says there's one state missing: Scared. Fear limits our ability to care and love. It doesn't have to. He quotes lessons from Jesus, Nietzsche, Buddhist teachers Tara Brach and Sylvia Boorstein, writer Andrew Sullivan, the TV show Breaking Bad, Pixar's film Finding Nemo, and Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Check the drugstore, and we'll find products to rev us up and to put us back to sleep. We treat our tiredness rather than listening to it. Rev. Ken Beldon discusses the last of the four emotional states of HALT (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired). He quotes Jesus, Carl Jung, Reinhold Neibuhr, writer Kathleen Norris, poet Wendell Berry, Bob Dylan, even Pinocchio.

The four states of HALT – Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired – are ones we try to avoid. Rev. Ken Beldon says loneliness, as painful as it is, is like "time in the chrysalis." It's a step before we really begin to connect. He draws lessons from Buddhism and quotes from Arno Michaels, preacher Fred Craddock, and The Who.

The four states of HALT – Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired – can overwhelm us. The second, anger, is often fueled by misunderstanding. How can we understand better? Rev. Ken Beldon explores the power of anger with lessons from neurologist Dr. Andrew Newberg, writers like Mark Driscoll and Rachel Held Evans, musicians like Johnny Lydon and Soul Asylum, and even Monty Python.

The four states of HALT – Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired – are powerful states of being. Rev. Ken Beldon expands on hunger, one of the first we learn and how we still struggle to deal with it. He quotes from sources as diverse as rapper Ice Cube, writer Tara Brach, Pixar's Ratatouille, Bruce Springsteen, Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, and musician Krishna Das.
