Episode 362 - Spiritual Practices in Wilderness Seasons with Tyler Staton

How can spiritual practices help us in the valley of our heartache and suffering? Why is prayer so pivotal in our pain? For years, pastor of Bridgetown Church and author Tyler Staton taught others how to slow down and engage in the spiritual practices that can help people connect to God and hear His voice more clearly. He had no idea how much the very lessons he shared would be so important in his own journey through cancer. Reading Scripture, prayer and conversing with God took on a whole new level of meaning and intimacy as he walked through a difficult diagnosis and an aggressive treatment plan that physically and emotionally depleted him. But through it, he found a deeper connection with the shepherd of his soul. In this tender conversation, Davey sits with Tyler to discuss why we need to engage in spiritual practices especially in hard times, what the mystery of the spiritual wilderness can reveal, and how God will use the interruptions of our suffering to show us what we cannot see in the ordinary moments of our life. If you are walking through the wilderness and wondering how to find the direction you need, this episode will help you understand that while spiritual practices may not give us all the answers we long for, they will guide us into a deeper connection with the one who knows them.   Website: https://www.tylerstaton.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tylercstaton/ Book: The Familiar Stranger: (Re)Introducing the Holy Spirit to Those in Search of an Experiential Spirituality https://a.co/d/8nkJY83 Are you looking for the perfect study for your small group?
