Deep and Wide: A Conversation Flowing with Lacy Borgo
What do children know about faith that adults often forget? In this next episode of Deeper Experiences with God, Dave sits down with Lacey Finn Borgo (https://www.ivpress.com/lacy-finn-borgo?utm_medium=ivp_evn&utm_source=IVPOD25) , spiritual director and author of Faith Like a Child (https://www.ivpress.com/faith-like-a-child?utm_medium=ivp_evn&utm_source=IVPOD25) , All Will Be Well (https://www.ivpress.com/all-will-be-well?utm_medium=ivp_evn&utm_source=IVPOD25) , and Spiritual Conversations with Children (https://www.ivpress.com/spiritual-conversations-with-children?utm_medium=ivp_evn&utm_source=IVPOD25) , to explore both deeper and wider experiences with God through childlike faith, simplicity and exploring human senses in silence and prayer. She shares some powerful personal anecdotes, including her difficult journey through surgery and her own personal daily practice of silence. The discussion covers the importance of developing your own 'survival three' spiritual practices and the role of listening in developing a loving relationship with God and others. Borgo concludes by leading a brief, childlike prayer exercise to demonstrate a practical spiritual practice of silence and meditation.
