“Prayer is not a means of getting out of the wilderness. . . [Prayer is a means of] learning what God has set before me while I am in the wilderness.”
What is the connection between imagination and prayer? Is there more to prayer than many of us may realize?
D.J. Marotta, author, Denver Seminary MDiv alumnus, and founding rector of Redeemer Anglican Church in Richmond, VA, discusses this topic and the often-overlooked power of the Lord’s Prayer through this conversation about his book, Liturgy in the Wilderness: How the Lord’s Prayer Shapes the Imagination of the Church in a Secular Age. Through reflections on the Lord’s Prayer as a gift for sustaining believers through the wildernesses of life, D.J. challenges conventional notions of prayer, offering a fresh perspective on its transformative power to reimagine our deepest longings and reshape our affections towards God.
