Looking Above

Brooklyn and Karen sat down for one final discussion.  In this podcast they reflect on some of the lessons they have learned about prayer this season. They talk about having open hands, about God as provider, about going to God first, about trust and listening, and about asking too little of God. Listen in and then spend a few moments considering how you have grown in prayer through this season!

To wrap up our season on prayer, we have a mini-series on the Lord’s Prayer that we produced for our Pray Retreat in April. Each episode features a discussion on one phrase from the Lord’s Prayer. In this episode, Brooklyn and Karen unpack the phrase, “And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.,” (Matthew 6:13)

In this last episode of the season, Brooklyn and Karen are chatting about our end goal in the life of prayer - to live a life of unceasing prayer. While this form of prayer feels like an unattainable goal and may take years to achieve, it is a worthwhile goal because every day we spend pursuing God is an opportunity to be conformed into His likeness.

We are at the end of our Life Group semester here at New Life, so we will be taking a break from the podcast, however, we will be dropping a few new bonus episodes on the Lord’s Prayer in a few weeks! Subscribe, so you are sure to get the alert when those drop.

Listen in, and then take some time and have a conversation with a friend or small group using these questions:

On this episode of the podcast, Brooklyn and Karen chat about what some believers call “the dark night of the soul.” It is in these seasons, that faith feels barren and God seems distant. The Prayer of the Forsaken is the prayer we pray in that season when we are longing for God but feeling deserted by Him. This episode provides hope for those who are questioning why it feels like your prayers are making it no farther than the ceiling.

As always, we encourage you to process the podcast with a friend or small group.

This week Karen and Brooklyn are chatting about a specific form of intercessory prayer - prayer for healing. We may know that God is a healer.  We may have read Bible stories of miraculous healings. But, how many of us have seen it first-hand? The ladies will offer you help and hope as you learn to pray for the healing of individuals. We believe that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, which means He still heals. Let’s learn how to join Him in that ministry.

After listening to the podcast, we encourage you to discuss it with a small group.  Use these questions to facilitate discussion:
