Guided contemplative prayer meditations to lead you into a deeper, more intimate experience of God.
Join Tony and Dan each week as we guide you through a contemplative meditation practice. Press play, sit back, and follow along as we lead you through contemplative practices both ancient and modern, with the simple intention of creating space for you to experience God deeply in communion. Find true soul care. Find rest. Find stillness. Find healing. Find revelation - of a deeper knowing of God, a deeper knowing of self, and a deeper connection to the divine.
God in the Normal – Examen Meditation Practice
We all have both mountaintop and valley experiences in our lives. On the mountaintop, God is so close and so real. We’re excited by powerful experiences. We’re filled with energy and vigor for life. On the contrary, the valleys feel quiet and dark. God feels distant. We know struggle, pain, and isolation. Both the mountaintops and the valleys can profoundly shape us. Typically, these seasons are short in duration.
Then, there is the in-between. The experience of what we would each consider to be “normal life”. Most of our lives are spent between the mountaintop and the valley – somewhere between ecstatic and struggling. So, do you find God in the details of your normal life? Do you sense God’s intimate presence in the daily routine of it all?
This examen meditation, when done as a prayer rhythm, can build a framework for spiritual awareness of God in the details of everything – even the most routine and mundane things. Let’s try this practice together!

Mary's Song - Meditation for Advent (Audio Redo)
We had some technical issues with the audio originally uploaded with these and other episodes from our Advent series. We apologize for the poor listening quality and hope you will give these episodes another chance with this new track upload.
Advent Meditations - Mary's Song
In this Advent meditation, we invite you to gaze reflectively on Mary, the mother of our Lord. Look upon her courage, her grace, and her total trust in the will and love of God. Join Dan as he leads us in a reflection on the Magnificat – Mary’s song of praise and devotion.
Luke 1:46-55
And Mary said:
“My soul glorifies the Lord
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name.
His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful
to Abraham and his descendants forever
just as he promised our ancestors.”
