In this episode, Derek Vreeland discusses the importance of prayer in maintaining an active relationship with God. He introduces the Jesus prayer, a simple 10-word prayer that has been used in the Eastern Orthodox tradition for centuries. Vreeland explains the four strands of the Jesus prayer: the cry for mercy, the discipline of repetition, the quest for stillness, and the veneration of the Holy Name. He emphasizes the power of this prayer in bringing calm, peace, and a focus on Jesus in our daily lives.
