Summary

Writer, spiritual director, and award-winning musician Strahan Coleman joins Blake to talk about how his journey of pain, depression, and anxiety moved his working relationship with God to a deep friendship. In his book, he invites readers into a richer life of prayer by giving up consumer Christianity for a beautiful life of seeing and being seen by God. Listen in as they talk about why prayer is a way of being with God in the every day through our minds and bodies.
