We become a community of communion with God in a culture of distraction and escapism through the practice of
Prayer
Getting started
In the hurry, distraction, and noise of the modern world, few things are more difficult, or more rewarding, than developing a life of prayer. Prayer is simply the medium through which we communicate and commune with God.
We know it can be intimidating to get started with prayer, so we suggest to simply start with the Eden baseline practice, or begin to work through some of the prayer tools by 24-7 prayer. If you want to go deeper into prayer, check out our 8-part conversation on prayer with accompanying practices and further resources.
