E11 | The Imagination of Prayer: The groans of Creation
Welcome to Teach Us to Pray, an exploration through Christian prayer for those who want to always be learning and re-learning how to pray. Join us for our second of two bonus episodes, as Luke Heisler and Anna Whitaker talk about the necessity of imagination for prayerful living. They dig into their experience with prayer, outline a bit of what being a 21st Century mystic looks like, discuss the prayer of Creation itself, and look at some alternative methods of praying. In the final episode (for now) of Teach Us to Pray, Anna and Luke get at what prayer does, what it means, what it enacts, and what it brings about. If you enjoyed this conversation, go ahead and leave a review and share it with your friends! Thank you to to all of the people who generously contributed to these conversations—whether friends who helped to organize thoughts off the podcast; the beautiful praying minds and lives of individuals like Dr. Martin Laird, Fr. Henri Nouwen, Thomas Merton, Brother Lawrence, St. Augustine, and many more; and the brilliant guests who lent their voices and ideas to this project. Many thanks to you, the listener, the learner, the pray-er, for joining me in trying to rediscover what it actually means to live prayerfully. Go and pray.

E9 | The Lord's Prayer: "Our Father"... and Son and Spirit
Welcome to Teach Us to Pray, an exploration through Christian prayer for those who want to always be learning and re-learning how to pray. Join us for our final episode, as Luke Heisler and Ryan Donnel take a look at The Lord’s Prayer and the assurance we have that God Himself is praying for us. God is not a distant being in the clouds; He is close, working in the soil of our lives, teaching us and showing us how to pray, even praying for us and with us. In this episode, Ryan and Luke talk about the Lord’s Prayer as a template for a life of prayer, not a list of religious lines to blandly recite. The "Our Father" is a prayer that unites Christians through time and space to the entire church, even to Jesus himself. They also get into a bit of the Trinitarian nature of prayer, and they touch on the fact that even the Creator of the Universe prays for us.
