Hi, friend.
00:01
Are you struggling to have that vibrant spiritual life that you crave?
00:05
I totally get it.
00:07
As a pastor, one of the biggest complaints and struggles that people come to me with is I don't know how to pray.
00:13
Right?
00:13
It doesn't work for me the way it does for others.
00:16
I totally get it.
00:18
You want to connect with your higher power and the go to way to do that is to sit down and pray, right?
00:24
Well, for many it is.
00:25
My spiritual life soared when I realized that that's not how it works for me.
00:31
The traditional way of sitting down and praying wasn't the best way for me to connect.
00:36
Maybe it's not for you either.
00:38
When I found what did work for me, I haven't been the same.
00:42
In our innermost being, we crave a transcendent connection.
00:46
That's why gazing at the night stars or listening to music takes us to a different place.
00:52
Our human existence began when that transcendent source breathed air into our lungs and called us good.
00:58
Every breath we take reaffirms the presence of the Creator within and around us, connecting with our divine source.
01:05
It's as easy as drawing a breath into our lungs.
01:08
And it doesn't have to be complicated.
01:11
There are so many ways to grow and deepen that connection.
