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. This week we are going into the archives all the way back to Holy Week of 2023 and centering our time around the Maundy Thursday sermon preached by missionary Deaconess Joy Prim.

Reflection Questions selected from John Wesley and the Holy Club

Am I proud?

Do I thank God that I am not as other people, especially as the Pharisees who despised the publican?

Is there anyone whom I fear, dislike, disown, criticize, hold a resentment toward or disregard? If so, what am I doing about it?

Reflection Questions from the Sermon
