Owl Post Edition: How to Pray with Stephanie Paulsell

Owl Post Edition: How to Pray with Stephanie Paulsell

Are ‘thoughts and prayers’ worth anything? This week, Casper is joined by our mentor Stephanie Paulsell to talk about the practice of prayer. Stephanie introduces us to ideas of prayer from theologians such as Evagrius Ponticus, Augustine of Hippo, Simone Weil, and Howard Thurman. And together, Stephanie and Casper talk about what prayer could look like during the Coronavirus.


We’ve had a flood of voicemails in the wake of the Coronavirus! This week, we’ve decided to feature voicemails about how people are thinking about and handling their lives during the epidemic. Thanks to Jemma, Rachel, Camden, Kenna and Paige for their beautiful contributions.


Also, in case you missed it:


We’re taking next week off! Season 7, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows starts April 16th.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
