Episode 3 | Prayer – Deepening Our Intimacy With God

How does Ruth respond when a pastor admits they don’t know how to pray anymore? You will be surprised. This episode is for those who feel stuck in their prayer even though prayer is part of their job description. Ruth describes transitions in the life of prayer with a rich discussion of intimacy that isn’t about sex — or at least mostly not about sex. 🙂 Ruth shares a liberating way to pray for someone when they ask, “Please pray for me.” Best of all, Ruth ends this episode by guiding you through a prayer practice. Don’t miss Episode 3 of Season 1: Sacred Rhythms in the Life of the Leader.

This was awesome and your podcasts always seem to be exactly what I need to hear. I don’t know how I have navigated 35 years of leadership and not know the basics of spiritual transformation. What a loss for both myself and those I have attempted to lead.

I am committed to making sure that more of our leadership listens to these and I pray that we will soon experience all that God has for us through the Transforming Center.

Thank you for your faithfulness to the call on your life. May God continue to richly bless you and the Transforming Center.

This was so very helpful!!! I am planning to share it with our entire ministry staff. THANK YOU!!!

May god richly bless you in ways you can receive.
