Pastor Hamp has talked a lot about his practice of centering prayer, and the importance of engaging in regular contemplation (or meditation if you’re more familiar with Buddhist/New Age language). In this bonus episode, we talk more about the origins of centering prayer, how to use the tool of contemplation to “grow ears on our hearts”, and the how-to of this important practice.

Pastor Hamp guides us through understanding our next word, and we discuss how it brings us further along the Christian path of spiritual growth.
