Episode 34: Lenten Lectio Divina with Sarah Christmyer - Thriving in the Trenches a Catholic Podcast


Listen Later

Have you ever heard of this term, Lectio Divina, and wondered what in the world it meant? Have you ever thought you'd like to learn how to get into the Scriptures in a deeper way? God speaks to us through the Word of God and we are richly blessed in this country to have the freedom to have Bibles, read Bibles, live out our Catholic Christian faith, and to come together for times to worship and praise our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As a Catholic, we are steeped in the traditions of proper interpretations of God's Word and we have the Graces of the Church to help us in our journey. With Lent just around the corner, we thought it was the best time to finally get Sarah Christmyer on our podcast to help us learn how to go deeper into relationship with our Father through the written Word.
