Lift Up Your Hearts Podcast
If you are feeling stuck in prayer or don't know how to pray at all this is a great place to start. These podcasts are a directed Ignatian style meditation on Sacred Scripture meant to help you go deeper into the life of Christ and His love for you. This meditation style has been an immeasurable blessing to me and I hope to pass those blessings on to as many people as possible. I am simply a poor man who has found of source of bread and want to share that source with everyone. I think this podcast is for everyone, beginner and expert, because the true leader for your prayer is the Holy Spirit.

What was going on in the heart of Nicodemus? What does on in your heart when you hear that Jesus loves you so much he was willing to die for you? Does it actually strike you as much as it should? Do you contemplate it day and night?

Imagine being publicly shamed in your worst moment? but it doesn't have to end there. It is at the feet of Jesus. What does he write in the ground for you? How does he lift you up? Where do you go from there?

There is so much more going on in this story. I want to focus in on the life of Simeon and what kind of life he would have to live in order to hear the Holy Spirit, act on it, see something no one else saw and be bold enough to pick up a seemingly random baby in the Temple that day.
