Episode 186: The Power of (And Cautions For) Engaging Listening Prayer with Michelle Kyle

Sometimes, God wants to use counseling to help us heal.

Sometimes, it’s the Bible.

Sometimes, it’s the powerful word from a dear friend.

Sometimes, it’s prayer.

Sometimes (oftentimes?), it’s all of the above.

When Michelle Kyle and I (Laurie) met together for coaching, she said she felt “stuck.” I didn’t know if I could help her get unstuck, but using a prayer technique I have been engaging for 15 years, I thought I would give it a try. 

• What did we do? 
• Did she get unstuck?
• What was the process, and how can I engage something like that today?
• What cautions do Matt and I have when engaging this process?

Join us for this powerful and practical conversation on listening prayer and we will dive into these answers and more.

// Highlights:

“I just remember praying, ‘God, you’re gonna have to do something, because I literally close my eyes and I usually see nothing.’ And so I did….And all of a sudden, I did, it happened, and I could see myself on the edge of the pier.” -Michelle Kyle

“You [Laurie] had asked me, ‘Do you want to invite Jesus into that space?’ And I said, ‘Well, He’s actually already there.’” -Michelle Kyle
