[Ep 209] [Imaginative Prayer] Hungry for Jesus: The Feeding of the Five Thousand

from Journal Gently: Healing with God through quiet reflection, honest conversations, and gentle journaling · host Kari Bartkus, Christian Speaker and Spiritual Director

What would it have felt like to be in the crowd when Jesus fed the five thousand? In this episode, we practice Ignatian imaginative prayer by stepping into the Gospel story from the perspective of someone in the crowd—someone who followed Jesus because they were hungry to hear Him speak. If you're new to imaginative prayer, this episode will gently guide you through the process. And if you'd like to continue exploring this way of praying with Scripture, Kari's 15-day devotional Imagine offers daily invitations to step into Gospel scenes and encounter Jesus in fresh ways. >> Imagine Devotional (website | Amazon)   RELATED EPISODES: ·       Episode 174: Entering Into Scripture Through Imaginative Prayer ·       Bonus Episode 20: [Imaginative Prayer] Coming Back to God in Thanksgiving and Praise: The Grateful Leper ·       Bonus Episode 11: [Imaginative Prayer] Jesus, Have Mercy ·       Bonus Episode 10: [Guided Scripture Reading] When You Don't Get Picked ·       Bonus Episode 4: [Guided Scripture Reading] The Courage to Ask to Be Healed ·       Bonus Episode 2: [Guided Scripture Reading] When Someone Fights For You ______ >> Free Journaling Workshop: 3 ways to encounter God on the pages of your journal http://lovedoesthat.org/journalingworkshop >> Book Kari as a speaker for your next event: http://lovedoesthat.org/speaking
