We are joined by the Rev. Dr. Jerry W. Askew on this episode of More Than One Way for a deeper dive into how those around us shape our view of life. Jerry shares a vision that changed his view of his early life from series of "bad people doing bad things to him" to an appreciation for those who have provided support, encouragement, and care. We hope this episode leads you to a grateful remembrance of your own "bumpers" and inspires you to seek out opportunities to support those around you.

What is prayer to you? Are their guides, tools, methods, that you have found are helpful? What does your prayer journey look and feel like? On this episode of More Than One Way we take another step into an exploration of the personal nature of prayer practices. Prayer takes many forms. Sometimes meaning is found in a daily routine and other times it is a spark in the moment. We hope this discussion leads you deeper into your practice.

We are pleased to welcome back Jake Morrill for our latest episode of More Than One Way. Through the lens of Jake's own awakening to prayer at 13, we explore an expansion of the definition of the word and practice itself. We hope this discussion will spark your thoughts, ideas, and actions as you consider the available depths of prayer.

This episode centers on a discussion of the first and second half of the spiritual life. Building off of our conversation with Chris Chase in episode 59, we talk about the shift from believing in God to experiencing God. The movement from belonging to a religion to living in relationship with the Divine. The shift does not follow a prescribed timeline and is often initiated through loss, failure, or suffering. If the first half of the spiritual life is about the journey to build a self, then the second half of live is about giving that self away.

On this episode of More Than One Way we welcome special guest Chris Chase for a conversation about the mysteries of our life journeys. Beyond study and structure to experience and wonder, we share our own quests of searching for more of who we truly are and how that in turn shapes how we welcome others.

Have you ever had one of those moments when you've felt a nudge or a pull to reach out to someone? A moment where the feeling is so strong and so real, it is hard to ignore. What about a time when you felt the presence of another so strongly, as if they were physically with you? On this episode of More Than One Way we share and explore stories of the Spirit, describing not only the moment but also the impact and reflection on the experience. We hope this discussion brings to mind your own Holy ground encounters and encourages you to share that story with those closest to you.
