If you are feeling stuck in prayer or don't know how to pray at all this is a great place to start. These podcasts are a directed Ignatian style meditation on Sacred Scripture meant to help you go deeper into the life of Christ and His love for you. This meditation style has been an immeasurable blessing to me and I hope to pass those blessings on to as many people as possible. I am simply a poor man who has found of source of bread and want to share that source with everyone. I think this podcast is for everyone, beginner and expert, because the true leader for your prayer is the Holy Spirit.

    Save Me, Save Only Me (Matthew 9:36-10:8)

    Send us Fan Mail Jesus had pity on the people, so he commissioned the Apostles to heal the sick. Imagine with me today that you were one of the ones pitied by Jesus. This took me back to the poem The Hound of Heaven by Francis Thompson specifically the end of the poem when he turns around to face the hound that has been pursuing his whole life.

    God's not worried about your doubt (Matthew 28:16-20)

    Send us Fan Mail Ever get worried about not having it all together? The disciples didn't have it all together and that didn't stop Jesus from working through them. Pray with me as I contemplate the passage from the Gospel of Matthew about Jesus ascending into heaven. It says the disciples worshiped, but they doubted, but Jesus doesn't seem to get hung up on their doubt. He still commissions them to go into all the nations and preach the gospel, making disciples, baptizing and teaching them all he commanded them.
