Welcome to the Yadkin Examen. The Examen is a weekly prayer podcast. Every Monday we take a moment to reflect on our week past, give  thanks to God, and seek strength for the day and week to come. We use reflection questions from different sources to help us seriously pray and review our own spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical lives.

Each episode begins with an excerpt from Sunday's sermon and ends with the scripture text. On April 24th our preacher was the Rev. Jonathan Gaylord and he preached from 1 Corinthians 9:16-27..
