#21 (S3) Little "T" Trauma, Healing Stories of Harm & Tyler Staton's Living Like Monks, Praying Like Fools Your Pastor Reads Books Podcast
-
- Christianity
Prayer itself makes us anxious because it uncovers fears we can ignore as long as we don’t engage deeply, thoughtfully, vulnerably with God. -Tyler Staton
There are so many books about prayer, but sometimes we need to be reminded that prayer can include both silence and listening for God’s voice. This conversation with Nancy Raatz,* Pastor of Mental Health and Recovery at Evergreen Christian Community in Olympia, WA, is inspired by Tyler Staton’s Living Like Monks, Praying Like Fools: An Invitation to the Wonder and Mystery of Prayer. We talk about the wonder, disappointment, and insecurities we may feel about prayer, and we spend a little time talking about little “t” traumas, hearing stories of harm, and healing hurt that comes from our own leaders in ministry.
