Friday Examen (Week 22)

Examen - the practice of discerning the voice and activity of God within the flow of the day. The practice is simply to ask yourself two questions and then reflect on your answers asking God to reveal His presence and guidance.

This week's questions are:

  • What brought joy in my life?
  • What robbed my of joy in my life?

Hey man, is this out of a book or are these original or wha? Pretty cool exercises.

Hey Ryan...thanks for dropping by.

I first learned this practice when going through The Spiritual Disciplines Handbook, but the questions are mine, stirred by things I'm reading and learning. Thanks for the encouragement, hope to see you guys some time soon.

Great questions, Ted. Have you checked out "The Voice of the Heart" by Chip Dodd? It's been life changing for me. Your questions reminded me of it.
