Knowing, experiencing and conversing with God can sometimes feel too intangible to grasp. Are there particular ways of living that grow a deeper closeness with God? How can we pray in a way that deepens our love for and sense of God? What does God’s presence feel like? And what does a robust Christian spirituality look like in a world as chaotic and uncertain as ours today?

This course is about all of the above and more. It’s an opportunity to relook at how we’ve formed our ideas about God’s closeness, presence, and prayer and to create a map for growing in our love and sense of Him. If you’re looking to grow in your closeness with God, if you’re in pause mode or transition, whether you’re just starting the journey or have been on it for a while, this course is a great place to start.

We’ll be exploring the following topics:

A Swell of Noise

Historical/cultural hurdles for communing with God in our day.

Becoming Whole Humans

A vision for our humanness in communion.

Ways of Seeing & Knowing

Exploring the languages of God and how he is felt

Prayer Practices

Forms of prayer that foster union and awareness

Prayer Rhythms

Building a lifestyle of prayer

The Two Hands of Prayer

Formation and Inspiration in our communion with the Holy Spirit

There are no professionals in prayer, only fellow pilgrims. This school is my way of sharing from one pilgrim to another in the hope we may leave the conversation more in love with God at the end of it.
