Teach Us To Pray Denver Institute for Faith & Work

Luke 24:13-35 describes the appearance of the resurrected Christ to two disciples as they journey on the road to Emmaus. This is a road trip story, filled with unexpected surprises as all road trips are. It also commends two important prayer practices: recounting our days to Jesus and being a host toward him.

On further examination, this is actually still a great song: Life is a Highway, by Tom Cochran 

What might it look like for your life to be washed over by the tide of resurrection? In this episode, we explore an ancient Christian creed found in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4. Also, I talk about my favorite surf instructor ever, Tony.
   

What if a day you have likely never thought about is central to God's saving work? Holy Saturday is the day in between. It is the space between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Ours is a Holy Saturday world, a Holy Saturday world on the edge of resurrection.

The words of this lament are perhaps the last words spoken by Jesus on the cross. How are we to pray these words with Jesus? How are we to pray, at all, at the foot of the cross? We explore these questions in this episode, focusing on Mark 15:34, Jesus' "cry of dereliction."

Mahalia Jackson, "Where You There?"

In this episode, we consider Mark 14:3-9, the story of an unnamed woman anointing Jesus before his death. Mark places this narrative in a prominent place, and Jesus praises the woman's actions beyond any other response in Mark's gospel. To pray this text is to allow our lives to conform to Jesus' lavish sacrifice for us.
