Examen 1: The Prayer of Examen with Lori Shoults

In this episode, we talk with Lori Shoults from The Ignatian Journey about the origins of the prayer of Examen and how Ignatian spirituality has helped shape her apprenticeship to Jesus. We explore some of the practical ways to engage in this type of prayer through resources like Good Night, God.

Lori is the director of The Ignatian Journey, a contemporary approach to the spiritual exercises, and co-director of The Practice Collective, a place for individuals and churches seeking pathways for transformation.

At Beginner’s Apprenticeship, we're on a mission to bring families and new believers closer to Jesus through daily prayer. Inspired by the Book of Common Prayer, we’ve adapted Christian prayer rhythms to make an inter-denominational prayer resource for families and households with small children. We pair prayer with song in an effort to give grown-ups and kids resources to pray in the moments they have available, like in the car, at the dinner table, or before bed. We’re praying for a generation raised and saturated in prayer, hoping for a renewal of faith, and doing our best to be faithful to our small part of “Your kingdom come, Your will be done.”
