A Playful Presence

from Whispers and Wonders with Garrett Andrew Hosted by Dr. Garrett Andrew

In this episode, I share a prayer/poem called A Playful Presence, a reflection on the quiet, surprising ways God still giggles through our days, even when the news is bad and our heads are down. I talk about how I once dismissed poetry, and how a friend and a book by Ted Loder changed that for me—and changed the way I pray. These prayers aren’t meant to explain or instruct. They’re meant to help us notice. To hold space for wonder. To remember joy. If something in this episode speaks to you, I’d love to hear from you.What ordinary moment this week shimmered with something sacred? You can join the conversation, read the full poem, and leave a comment over on Substack: Whispers and Wonders Please consider sharing this with someone who might need a gentle reminder that joy is still possible—right here, right now.
