Join us at ‘Desert Well’ this week as we unpack theimpactful conversation we had on last week’s episode with Barry about prayer. We will dive deep into what it means to move from discipline to devotion and duty to delight in our relationship with God.In this raw and honest conversation, we wrestle withquestions like: What's the difference between being disciplined and being devoted? Can prayer be both a duty and a delight? And how do we create space for meaningful connection with God beyond just checking boxes?Plus, we share our new practice of praying throughthe Psalms with Jesus by inviting you to take a look at these two books, CSB Psalm Journal: https://a.co/d/6BCjiZM and ESV Psalm Journal: https://a.co/d/5qViyKJ .0:00 - Welcome & Recap of Last Week's Episode with Barry3:15 - Most Impactful Takeaway: God as Father6:45 - The Conviction of Turning Away Our Children10:20 - Praying the Psalms with Jesus15:30 - The Psalm Book Practice (Links in Description!)20:45 - Introducing the Four D's: Discipline, Devotion, Duty, Delight24:10 - What IS Devotion, Really?28:30 - The Robot Problem: When Discipline Becomes Rote33:20 - Duty to Delight: Finding Joy in What We're Called To Do38:45 - The Both/And Approach: Living in Tension43:15 - Where Do YOU Fall on the Spectrum?49:00 - Wrap Up & See You Next WeekYou can also watch this week’s episode on YouTube Podcasts https://youtu.be/B3Ihf6AFKfY.
