Lunch + Learn: Praying Without Words

Praying Without Words In 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Paul urges the church to pray without ceasing. But how do we pray and work at the same time? How can we pray continuously and balance a spreadsheet, draft website copy, or lead a meeting? Prayer is more than the words we say to God. It’s listening, communing with God, and becoming present to the One who is already present with us. What might it look like to carry that kind of prayer into our everyday work? Join us Tuesday, October 20, from 11:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m. to hear from Lakweshia Ewing, Founder of Unlearn Everything and Live, Nick Pacurari, VP of Student Life at Bryan College, and Tim Hewitt, a defense attorney of Logan-Thompson, about what it looks like to offer their work as a form of prayer. They’ll share how they’ve wrestled with the relationship between prayer and work, and ways they’ve learned to turn their attention to God in prayer –no matter the task or conversation. About the Series Over the past year, we’ve heard from people across industries and career stages who share a common challenge: staying connected to God in their daily work. The pace and demands of our lives both within and outside of our jobs can make it difficult to pay attention to God’s presence in the everyday. This series is an invitation to just do that. Over the next few months, we’ll hear from people across professions about the challenges they face, the spiritual practices they lean on, and the biblical truths that help draw their attention back to God. From entering our workspace to starting a meeting, sending an email, updating a spreadsheet, or talking with a colleague, God is already present—and inviting us to do our work with Him.
