We often hear about repentance, fasting, and prayer, but what do these practices look like in everyday life? Fredrica Mathewes-Green, author of The Illumined Heart, has wealth of knowledge on the rhythms of daily worship that were a part of the early church and how we can learn from them. This episode dives deep into the spiritual practices that we all crave, but don't always know how to do.
