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 21st our preacher was the Rev. Jonathan Gaylord and he preached from Romans 12.

Reflection Questions from the Sermon

What does it mean to live in harmony with one another?

What is mutual affection?

‘“Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord” No, “if your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink; for by doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.’ Do these verses challenge you? What is hardest about them?
