72. 28-Day Prayer Journey

the REALIFE Practice Podcast

Listen into Sharon Swing's conversation with Chrystal Evans Hurst. We'll talk about getting into a regular rhythm of prayer, her new book, '28-Day Prayer Journey,' and her experience with life-mapping using 'Listen to My Life.' Like me, you'll be hoping to meet Chrystal for a cup of coffee and a great conversation on a regular basis. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Here's a link to her new book: '28-Day Prayer Journey' on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/28-Day-Prayer-Journey-Daily-Conversations-ebook/dp/B085XNFJJ7/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=IQ3PIKGL6FJQ&dchild=1&keywords=28-day+prayer+journey+by+chrystal+evans+hurst&qid=1602101283&sprefix=28-day+p%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyRTYxWEpTUTFSOUFVJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTI0Mjg4MTk5QkUzMFVSTFJQMCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUExMDMxMDI0MTZBSlpMQzFUQTZRSSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

oneLife Maps is, at its core, interested in helping people to recognize and respond to God in their stories. The seven lies Darrell talks about invitations to consider how a few shifts in perspective on how we think about God and faith effect our ways of being in the world. You don't have to agree with everything he says to appreciate the deep thinking that has led Darrell and others to a healthy spirituality that prioritizes love as its highest value.

If you have engaged in 'Listen to My Life: Maps for Recognizing and Responding to God in My Story' visual life mapping, you'll see that this conversation relates directly to the bottom line on the 'My Life Story' map, where you are asked to consider how you have noticed God, or viewed who God is over the course of your life. This conversation is a great way to help you sort out what stories you have been handed about who you are and who God is -- and prayerfully decide what to take with you, and what to leave behind.
