"If we can all go to our silence and recognize that each one of us is equal in the eyes of God, that there is no truth that I have that you don't have too, then we can see each other and we can work together and move together to build a better world." -Maria Cressler

“The most important thing that can happen to a person, is to encounter Jesus, who loves us, who has saved us, who gave his life for us.”

Questions from our prayer of examen in this episode:

Notice: How has God grown you the most in this past year?  Look back over the year and bring your awareness to a point of personal transformation…I came into the year this way and I am finishing in a new way.

What is my favorite moment with God, Jesus and Holy Spirit over this past 12 months and why?

What is your personal response to God for these moments with Him?

What am I grateful to God for as I reflect on our journey through this past year?

In my journey through the year an I aware of any area of my life where God is inviting me to seek forgiveness, wisdom, patience, joy, love or any other word God wants to give me as we review our year together?

How do I walk away from this past year? Notice any feelings that you have sensed through this prayer and take time to ask God what He wants you to know about them? Notice the positive and notice the negative. Both are valuable as we come before God in prayer.

What do I sense God is inviting me into in this New Year….

In this episode Jody, Larry and Evan discuss spiritual formation and Danny leads an imaginative prayer exercise.
