Experiencing Prayer as the Reality of God – A Conversation with Jacqueline King

“My definition of prayer: prayer is the reality of God. That’s what makes God real. Like having conversation, conversation you can have with your best friend.” – Jacqueline King

What does it mean to call Jesus your friend? How does one begin to nurture such a relationship? In this episode, Jacqueline, Steven’s longtime friend and prayer mentor, shares what she has learned from a lifetime of experience, as well as more recent training in the practices of centering prayer and lectio divina.

Jacqueline recommends a couple of books to help: Sacred Breath: 40 Days of Centering Prayer by J. David Muyskens; Soul Feast: An Invitation to the Christian Spiritual Life by Marjorie Thompson.
