Summary

Prayer is one of the most needed practices in our lives, but how often do we get distracted when we pray, or give up hope when we don’t feel like God is answering? We have so many questions about prayer—does God really hear us, is He good, and how do we know if we’re praying God’s will? Also, how do we pray when we’re absolutely heartbroken? Dr. Knut Heim and I touch on these important questions in this week’s podcast. Dr. Heim is one of my seminary professors at Denver Seminary and, oh my goodness, does he bring an absolute word for us this week! If you’re discouraged, wondering if God hears your prayers, or trying to figure out how to make prayer part of your daily rhythm, do not miss this episode!!!!

0:59.8	Yeah. access more welcome welcome you guys to the cultivate podcast, I am just absolutely beaming with joy because I have one of my seminary professors here. I'm going to tell you his name in just a moment, but he has taught me so much
1:06.5	through the Old Testament, especially last year getting started as a new seminary student.
1:12.7	And, man, he gave me a big, hard, several papers on the book of Ezekiel, of all things.
1:18.9	But I am so thankful to have him here.
1:21.0	And as you all know, we are in a special six-part series because I have a new Bible study coming out called Encountering God,
1:29.0	cultivating habits of faith through the spiritual disciplines. And the Bible study really just
1:33.9	takes a deep look at several of the spiritual disciplines and how when we practice them,
1:39.5	we are participating with Christ and we are drawing closer to the living God. And so as a way of celebrating
1:46.4	the release of this Bible study, I have selected six people, each one, to focus on a discipline.
1:53.7	And this particular seminary professor, who I will introduce in just a second, one of the things
1:59.0	that has struck me the most about engaging with him
2:01.7	is in his classes and also in person is that he is a man of prayer. And you feel that, you sense that.
2:10.1	It's not just him transferring information about the Bible to us, but as he would interact with us online weekly, there was always a
2:21.7	fresh word. There was a fresh sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. And so I just am so excited to have
2:28.1	Dr. Knut-Hime on the podcast today. Dr. Heim, it's awesome to be here with you. Well, thank you so much for
2:36.5	inviting me. I'm very pleased to interact with you and to share about the spiritual disciplines.
