  • New Words of Dynamic Prayer
    Jul 16 2024

    Text me your thoughts!

    My understanding of prayer has changed towards a new dynamism and excitement. I've learned to collaborate rather than plead with God. Explore with me some new words that will make a difference in your spiritual devotion. Rather than tossing a hope in the wishing well of prayer for a far-away deity to act, we can join in a synergistic experience with a loving partner. Insights from Open and Relational Theism show the way for new words to enrich your experience.

    Segments include:
    The language of prayer 0:51

    A foundation of God relating to our world 1:33

    Creating the future with God 4:05

    A vocabulary of interactive faith 7:00

    The delightful emotion of awe offers a path toward transcendence and well-being. The thunder of Niagara Falls or the face of a newborn can provoke emotions that change us forever. Science has given new perspectives on the impact of awe for our faith and well-being.
