    Using our imaginations as the gift that they are

    Piggybacking off the last episode of meditating with the Holy Spirit but now adding the element of using our imagination in prayer. In this episode, we will be using our imaginations to place ourselves in verses 1-3 of Psalm 23 as a way to spend time with the Lord and allowing Him to love on us. Enjoy 3 I am reading the NLT (New Living Translation) in this episode. (00:00) Sharing about my trip to The Basilica of the National Shrine (16:14) How I use my imagination in prayer (21:31) Meditation of Psalm 23 (28:29) Closing and final thoughts

    It was His first

    Another unplanned bonus episode to start the new year :) The topic of this episode is meditation. When we think of meditation, we might think of attempting to clear our minds and reach a higher version of ourselves or worshipping other gods, but that is not what God created it for. Meditation allows us to be in the present moment God gifted us with and bring Him into that moment to spend time with Him. Towards the end of the episode, I guide you through a short meditation led by the Holy Spirit. Talk to you guys on Saturday 3 Here are some links to Christian meditation music. Feel free to play these in the background during the meditation part of this episode or whenever you want to spend time with God :)  Soaking in His Presence, Vol 11. by William Augusto: https://open.spotify.com/album/3ZAtjpS2Xjm2R5ammyV2Xx?si=dwucmDTxQ3COHE3yCdk5sg The Secret Place by Malik Brookins: https://open.spotify.com/album/4oNLS86EYv4tLq6tIbV8m8?si=Jq2sY8pdTFSIZut-luBhIQ I am also reading from the Great Adventure Bible in this episode, which is in RSV (Revised Standard Version) translation.  (00:00) Intro to meditation as a way to spend time with the Lord (05:01) Reading scripture of what is from God and belongs to Him (15:18) Different types of Catholic spirituality  (21:02) Christian meditation led by the Holy Spirit  (33:42) Closing thoughts
