Episode description
Tsh talks with Douglas McKelvey, author and editor of the Every Moment Holy prayer collections, which she has long loved and used frequently. They talk about the role of communal prayer, why the need for both written and spontaneous prayer, and why it’s helpful to use prayers both new and old, crafted by others, to help deepen our relationships with God.
