This week we talk about attempts to communicate with God (commonly referred to as prayer). Spoiler alert: we are not great at praying and find it a bit confusing. If you've ever wondered about whether or how to pray and find prayer confusing, listen to this episode.
We reference the Christian author Eugene Peterson in this episode. Unfortunately, Eugene passed away in the time since this episode was recorded. May he rest in God.
The questions that guide our discussion this week:
1) What are the prevailing ideas on what prayer is for, and how it works? What are the "mechanics" of prayer, as you understand them?
2) Have your feelings about prayer changed at different phases in your life? Where are you now-- do you pray, and if so, how and why?
3) What is prayer, in its most essential form? Why do we care about it, and should we?
4) What are some ways you can stretch and grow in your own practice of prayer?
