“Do you still think of prayer as a ritual in a religious service, or a way to ask God for stuff? Do you ever feel like you just need a few minutes of silence to gain your bearings in life? If so, you’re not alone.”
In today’s podcast and post I add another layer to our discussion on prayer, by looking closer at our need to get away and hide sometimes.
Join me now as offer you the world’s most perfect prayer, and why religion doesn’t teach it, and why we all struggle to perceive it.
“How would you describe your “prayer life?” Do you essentially pray the same thing every time? Are you inconsistent or are your prayers just a list of requests?
In today’s podcast and post we continue our series entitled “Fix Your Faith” by following Christ’s example of withdrawing from people to pray in secret. We’ll learn why prayer is not a ritual that we use for requests, but something much deeper.
Join me now as we fix our prayer life by looking closer at those moments when we think we are talking to ourselves, and extend that conversation into the entirety of life.
“Has your holiday preparation obscured the love you and your family are supposed to experience? Or is this season a painful reminder that a deeper love and connection is clearly missing?
In today’s podcast and post I offer a brief contemplative exercise that can clue us into some ways to access a much deeper experience with love this season.
Join me now as I prime your attention for some very subtle observations which can grow into a truly meaningful Christmas.
“We’re told that we are in a spiritual battle with our flesh, but does that mean that the goal of spirituality is to transcend our bodies? Or to become a disembodied spirit?
In today’s podcast and post, I add another layer in our discovery of the contemplative life. While it’s necessary and wise to warn people about the propensity for our flesh to lead us into evil, far too many people of faith live in fear of their flesh, and have not discovered the freedom and power of an embodied faith.
Join me now for a course which may be either the most dangerous thing I’ve ever said, or the most liberating thing you’ve ever heard.
“When you hear the term “Contemplation” what comes to your mind? Many think its having deep thoughts, others see it as meditation, while others are skeptical because they have a negative understanding of the mystics.
In today’s podcast and post I do my best to answer the question: What is Contemplation? I’ll share the common assumptions, misconceptions, and my framework for understanding it.
Join me now as I explain the unexplainable with the hope that everyone listening will consider making it a practice in their daily life.
In this episode I conclude my description of the healing practice by exploring the point when we get to the end of our words and can finally abide, sit still, and be in and with Divine presence. This portal will allow all comers to see just how everything is possible and beautiful. It gives us just enough of a glimpse that we can re-enter the work of each day with a completely new disposition and attitude.
