Lift Up Your Hearts Podcast

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.
