Read Psalm 22, the sense Jesus had of the Fathers absence, He knows to be merely temptation. Verse 24, “4 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from him; But when he cried to Him for help, He heard.” The whole prayer/chapter, pointed to as Jesus quotes the first verse , is a lesson on how to work through trials, remembering Gods faithfulness, nearness and purpose. God did not abandon or despise Christ on the cross nor will he abandon us as we walk either him no matter how it feels.

So incredibly helpful

This is absolutely the gayest panel of straight dudes I’ve ever seen. The female “pastor” is the most masculine person in the room. 😂

No pete, absolutely not! At the beginning when you

If one engages in unceasing prayer one actually can't do anything else. That should include spending time making videos on You Tube.

Ugh

This is absoluetly amazing. Thank you so much, guys!

Those chairs look so uncomfortable. Great topic, though.

Oh please- the portland caveman. Squirly smary voice

This is full of beautiful wisdom, thoroughly enjoyed it! The only thing I'd say is that I heard marriage mentioned a few times which is totally fine and makes complete sense in the context and nuances of the discussion but for those of us who are single, it can make us feel a little isolated as we can't relate to that. But overall, lovely conversation.

Your knowledge and voice are so compelling. Thank you for all your teachings. Praise God for you!

Super conversation, guys. So inspiring. Thanks!

let's hear more women speak!

As someone who is both peaceful and always in motion, sitting still is so very hard for. So.much so that it almost rises to a level of suffering (as strange as that is) So the thoughts expressed here really minister to me, that im not alone in my restlessness and quest for stillness before God. Thank you!!

Wow this made me think. I realized now after watching you talk about different kinds of prayer for half an hour. That my morning walks to work are in a way a prayer. I also realized that when I presently listen to the birds chirping and animals in my walk I have a heightened feeling of Gods presence around me, this always make me smile and makes me feel good and relaxed.

“How can you love God who you cannot see if you don’t love your brother,sister who you can see” ( 1 John 4:20)

Two Beautiful souls in authentic dialogue …..My heart grieved listening to J T Thomas explaining Trevail…….thinking about the suffering and injustices of slavery…….What an amazing spirit that shines out through this amazing soul.

I've always felt like I've had to talk and talk when praying. Learning to be silent is hard for me. Shaking off "religion " and getting into a real relationship with Jesus is difficult at times, for me. This study has been eye opening for me.

It appears that Remember is the most common command in the Old Testament, while Do Not Fear, is the most common command in the overall Bible.

So I thought I was pretty smart and spiritually mature until I watched these Christian intellectuals talk😂. I can appreciate the growth my mind had to take just to understand the vocabulary 😮. At the end I realized that we are all different, have different relationships with God and maturity levels. I love Christine and her transparency ❤. I can relate to her best, but hearing all these other men speak of their prayer journeys was motivating and humbling and reassuring as well. I love the diversity of the Body.😊

I'd love to see how worship through song comes into play with intimacy. For me I find I transcend to a blissful paradise through sweet song to the lord in addition to prayer through song. I haven't heard it mentioned yet but I think that is one portal to paradise for those who have the gift!

2 of the very best in a profoundly beautiful conversation. Must see viewing 😊❤

Fabulous! Thank you for sharing your thoughts.❤

oh. i needed this. Thank you.

Garden doesnt equal paradise . The greek words and hebrew are not the same. Go look.

I'd like to see the many churches represented here to : Study and follow what 1 Timothy 2 and 3 plus, Titus 1 all teach on WHO are pastors and elders and NOT to base your leadership off of current culture.

So refreshing!

Just listening to the first answer Tim made, makes me remember how much life I received listening to their deep revelations on bible project it felt like experiencing new rivers of fresh living water

Amazing, hope filled words. Thank you

2:30 What was that nonchalant dismissal of "paradise" referring to heaven, simply because it wasn't the word heaven, as if it's cut-and-dry and obvious?

This has been so encouraging to me. God bless you all❤

I love this book. My uncle is a pastor and I just sent him the link to it because I’d really like our church to do the Bible study.

I've never heard of "The Examine." Chat GPT says: "The Examen" is a method of prayer and introspection developed by St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order. It's a technique found in his Spiritual Exercises and is intended to help individuals reflect on their recent experiences and discern God's presence in their lives. Typically practiced at least once daily, the Examen involves reviewing the day's events to identify moments of consolation (where one felt closer to God) and desolation (where one felt further from God). The process of the Examen typically involves several steps: 1. **Gratitude**: Begin by giving thanks to God for the blessings of the day, acknowledging and appreciating the good. 2. **Petition**: Ask God for the grace to understand and interpret the day's events. 3. **Review**: Reflect on the events of the day, identifying where you have and have not found God's presence. 4. **Forgiveness**: Seek forgiveness for any faults or sins and ask for God's mercy. 5. **Renewal**: Look forward to the next day with a resolution to improve based on the insights gained. This practice encourages a deep sense of discernment and awareness, helping individuals recognize God's guidance in their everyday lives.

May Our Lord bless all who proclaim his Word and set an example.

Thank you for these thoughts. Having some diversity would add unique perspective and flavour on this important topic.

This is such a gift, to witness this discussion from so many wise and humble individuals! Could you please invite Francis Chan to your next discussion?!?

I want this so bad.

Believe means relax into? Wow...that's quite a stretch no?

AMEN‼️‼️‼️🙌🏻🥲

Just starting this, looks good! Re the 3x/day prayer, it’s not from the 1st century church but further back - the Hebrews/Jews prayed & still pray 3x/day - see Daniel’s (of Judah’s) habit: Daniel 6:10 (KJV) Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. King David said the same: Psalm 55:17 (KJV) Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

Wow, when she said not wanting to because God with changer her heart. I so feel that way about praying for my mother. Over and over she abandoned me. Now, I’m the one need to be there for her and I don’t want to.

Like the delegated authority illustration🙏

I love the honest humility regarding the state of their hearts towards the end.

Suffering just makes me want to eat a load of big macs and sin 😂 So relatable

You will not be able to deny or excuse away what happened. And your family and church will feel your failures in their bones. I hope you're ready, Staton
