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 August 14th our preacher was the Rev. Jonathan Gaylord and he preached from Romans 8:26-35.

Am I a slave to dress, friends, work, or habits?

Am I self-conscious, self-pitying, or self-justifying?

Do I give it time to speak to me everyday?

Reflection Questions from the Sermon

Have you ever needed the spirit to “intercede with sighs to deep for words?” What was that like?

Of all of the things that Paul says cannot separate us from the love of God, which do you need to hear the most? Or what do you need to add to the list?
