When most people hear the word worship they either think of a type of music, or about gathering together at a church for a service, but really worship means so much more than that. As we jump into a new season of The Ecclesia Podcast we wanted to begin with an examination of what it looks like to worship holistically, with our mind, body, and spirit, and to worship with every part of our lives. In this episode, our guests Alexandra and Misty join us to explore the topic of contemplative spiritual practices as a form of worship.
In today's fast-paced and hectic world, there is very little silence and stillness. However, through contemplative practices such as meditation, centering prayer, and lectio divina, we can connect with God in a deeper, more intimate way. Our guests share their own experiences with these practices and how they have helped them grow closer to God.
Whether you are in the Houston area or part of the larger Christian community, we invite you to join us as we dive into the beauty of contemplative practices and how they can help us connect with God, as well as the world around us. You'll learn practical tips for incorporating these practices into your daily life, as well as insights on how they can enhance your spiritual journey.
At Ecclesia, our mission is to be a community that seeks to follow Jesus in all areas of life, and that includes our worship. We believe that there are many ways to worship God beyond just music and Sunday gatherings.
