I’m eager to hear more about your journey towards knowing God. I wonder how prayer has shifted and changed for you as you’ve embraced mysticism?

There is such a beautiful depth in moving from belief in God to knowing God. I feel like that emphasis has largely been left out of my church experiences. I’ve been left to discover it on my own. It challenges me as a pastor to think more about how to incorporate mysticism and contemplation into the ways we think about spiritual formation.

I have a painting in my living room with a quote by St. Gregory Nyssa: “The one thing truly worthwhile is becoming God’s friend”
This is where the journey leads…and when we know it, that’s when the fun begins!
