The Yadkin Examen: Recent Episodes

Welcome to the Yadkin Examen. The Examen is a prayer podcast. Every Monday we take a moment to reflect on our week past, give thanks to God, and seek strength for the day and week to come.
We will use prompts for self-reflection from various sources like the 22 questions John Wesley and the Holy Club at Oxford would ask themselves daily. In addition to that each week our prayer will begin with an excerpt from Sunday’s sermon and we reflect on some questions from the sermon and worship.

Welcome to the Yadkin Examen. The Examen is a weekly prayer podcast. Every Monday we take a moment to reflect on our week past, give thanks to God, and seek strength for the day and week to come. We use reflection questions from different sources to help us seriously pray and review our own spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical lives.
Each episode begins with an excerpt from Sunday's sermon and ends with the scripture text. On January 30th our preacher was the Rev. Jonathan Gaylord and he preached from Acts 16:16-34 .
