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 February 6th our preacher was the Rev. Jonathan Gaylord and he preached from Acts 15:1-18.

Reflection Questions

Review the day. Where did the spirit move? Where did I miss an opportunity that God placed before me, to share God’s love?

Consider something from this day for which you are thankful

Reflection Questions selected from John Wesley and the Holy Club

Am I consciously or unconsciously creating the impression that I am better than I really am? In other words, am I a hypocrite?

Am I honest in all my acts and words, or do I exaggerate?

Am I self-conscious, self-pitying, or self-justifying?

Do I disobey God in anything?

Do I insist upon doing something about which my conscience is uneasy?

Reflection Questions from the Sermon

How have you experienced the love of God in your life?

What draws you to the love of Christ? What makes you seek righteousness?
