Engaging with Scripture: The Gift of Lectio Divina

Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: David Vryhof

Instead of studying the Word to preach or teach it, Lectio Divina invites us to simply listen and receive the Word as a gift of love from God to us, his beloved children. Discerning leaders know the power of the Word and delight when the Scriptures come alive in our prayer closets. As a primary spiritual practice, lectio divina encourages us to feast on a slow and prayerfully meditative reading of God's Word. In this episode we look at the six rhythms of lectio and behold how the Word comes alive as it's prayerfully and repetitively held as a gift of love.
