Episode 12 is all about the Prayer of Examen as we continue in our series on Extraordinary Prayer and Fasting. We've already had one training episode on Activating Prayer that was more about a breathing out type of prayer. The Prayer of Examen is a breathing in type of prayer. It's less about active mission and more about Jesus and His gospel, through the Spirit and the everyday stuff of life speaking over us. Our hope is that it will be a useful tool in your prayer life. 

A number of resources were accessed to put together this brief intro. The Examen is an ancient practice and helpful practice and we're thankful for the resources from blogs to academia who have written extensively on the topic.
