Holystic Christian Prayer

So much to say, and not quite enough time to fit everything in! Last episode I was forced by time constraints to basically cut my intro into two parts.  In this episode, learn what makes this a "Holystic" approach to Christian Prayer. It's way cooler and way harder than you're probably thinking. Just listen to the dude with blue hair, and it will make sense.... mostly?

Sometimes it's good to know what we're talking about before we start talking about the how-to of something. In this episode, we start with the basics. What is prayer? It's not as easy as you'd think to answer that question, but once you know the answer, prayer might not seem such an intimidating or complex thing.

Well well well. Wells are a deep subject, and so is prayer. Although there are many different kinds of prayers, today we survey six of the most common types of prayer. Not only will you learn that I can't count, but you will learn to count on me for the lamest of jokes.

It's been long enough, let's start to get to know prayer in a new light.

Pretty much everyone that prays, prays in one of two ways, and it all depends on what basis a person approaches God in their prayers. We can either approach God as His child, or as not His child. Do you know how you tend to pray? If you aren't sure, this episode will tell you how to figure it out.

Getting started can be probably the hardest step if you feel overwhelmed or if you feel disheartened by attempts in the past that didn't work out. Before we even jump into trying things out again, it's a good idea to slow down and make an honest assessment of where we're at. So let's get honest.

We all have our reasons for why we don't get around to praying. Busyness is probably cited as the number one reason. I'm too busy! Jesus was busy. Martin Luther was busy. Countless numbers of Christians throughout history have been busy, and probably, busier than any of us. If we are honest, we use our busyness as an excuse. In this episode, I try to gently convince you that no matter how busy you are, making time for reg...

You know the old saying, "There's a time and place for everything"? Well, it's certainly true when it comes to prayer. In this episode we consider a number of different factors when considering when and where we will pray. There's more to think about than you'd imagine, and I have a lot to say in this episode, so grab something to take notes on and perhaps a small snack. I love snacks...

This short series is all about knowing who you're hearing from inside and outside of prayer. In this episode, we take some time to get to know ourselves. Join us in this episode as we learn to know when we are hearing our thoughts and feelings in times of prayer instead of hearing from God. If you know how you talk to yourself, you can better align yourself with Scripture, and more confidently know when you're hearing fro...

The enemy. The Devil. Satan. Lucifer. He has many names. Today people either think of him as some ridiculous, almost cartoonish creature who is meant to scare children into behaving, or as the sole agent for every major tragedy and minor inconvenience. Both conceptions are equally inaccurate and potentially harmful. In this episode, we get a more accurate picture of who the Devil is, what he's about, and why he wages an often ...

It's bad enough that we have a lot of junk thoughts floating through our heads all on our own, but when thoughts come to us from the outside from a malicious enemy of your soul, it can get hard to deal with it all. Luckily for you, this episode will help you discern the difference between your own thoughts and feelings, and when you're hearing from the enemy. Your own voice has identifiable characteristics, and the way yo...

When it comes to knowing if you're hearing from God or someone else, it helps to know a little bit about God Himself. In this episode we conduct a brief survey of who God is, we get a tad nerdy with it, and best of all, the episode doesn't last for the majority of an hour. Enjoy!
