[Ep 174] Entering Into Scripture Through Imaginative Prayer

Have you ever found your Bible reading to be a little dull or lifeless? Is it hard to see the people of the Bible as real individuals who encountered God? There's a practice that can help with this, and it's called imaginative prayer. Now, every time I think about explaining imaginative prayer to others, I can't help but think about my conversation with Eva Kubasiak on her podcast, Bible Study Made Simple.  When I was talking with her, I shared with her this idea about imaginative prayer. With her permission, I want to share part of that conversation with you. I not only explain what imaginative prayer is, but I also walk us through an example so you can see what it might look like in real life.
