New Renovaré Resource — Learning to Hear God: Two Listening Exercises
Beth and David Booram, spiritual directors and cofounders of an urban retreat center in Indianapolis, invite us to look for God in places we normally overlook, and listen for God in places we might try to ignore (like negative feelings).
