Elaine Heath - How to be a Christian Mystic (N72)

Lecturer in evangelism, theology and Chrisitan spirituality and author of The Mystic Way of Evangelism, Elaine Heath joins us on the show. We chat with Elaine about contemplative prayer, and the healing and outreach that naturally flows from it. So tune in if you want to know how to experience God and change the world. “We have been so captured by rationalism since the enlightenment – it’s really shaped how we think about our faith. And we’ve bought into the idea that to have faith is to ascribe intellectually to a set of doctrines and hopefully behave yourself along the way.” - Elaine Heath Books, quotes, links → The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.
