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 January 8th our preacher was the Rev. Jonathan Gaylord and he preached from the Luke 4:14-21.

Reflection Questions selected from John Wesley and the Holy Club

Am I consciously or unconsciously creating the impression that I am better than I really am? In other words, am I a hypocrite?

Am I honest in all my acts and words, or do I exaggerate?

Do I  pass on to another what was told to me in confidence?

Reflection Questions from the Sermon

How are you intentionally putting yourself in a place for God to speak to you?

What injustice do you see around you?

What act of Justice can you do today?
