Prayer is essential for living in the company of God. Do you desire to be closer to God, but don’t know how? How do you practice the presence of God in daily life and learn to recognize God’s presence? Mark and David explore what a relational approach to prayer looks like in everyday life.

Many people experience prayer as something to do - it can feel stiff and be seen merely as a box to check. But what if prayer could be more about being in the company of God rather than doing something for him? This episode explores different experiences of prayer, and seeing prayer shift from being mechanical to relational - a space to be with God and hear his voice.

Explore the many ways of communing with God through art, nature, and creativity. Mark and David talk with Kristen Kludt, creator of Field Guides for the Way, who shares her experiences of hearing God’s voice through creation and creative practices.

Jesus invites us to go deeper in our relationship with him. Our habits and practices can help us move in that direction. Mark and David talk about the life-long process of practicing your faith, which will ultimately take you deeper in relationship with Jesus, as well as the value of practicing imperfectly rather than not practicing at all.

“The church is like a swimming pool in which all the noise comes from the shallow end. But most of the wisdom is to be found in the deep end…” - W.H. Vanstone
