The Use of Scripture in Meditation and Prayer

The use of Scripture in meditation and prayer is key to both a close relationship with Jesus Christ and to a faithful ministry.

He used Lectio Divina and journaling as the means by which he traced the movements of God in his life in order to “walk according to the Spirit.” The student will learn about and experience Lectio Divina, other prayer forms, and journaling in the course. Students will learn about the rich spiritualities which influenced Wesley and his life of prayer and ministry. [Offered on demand]
