Prayer Pod takes you through a brief, guided time of prayer using poetry and the movement of music as guides. Each episode features original compositions and poems (often read by the poets themselves). Prayer can take many forms. Words whispered before bed as you drift off to sleep or screamed out of sheer frustration while driving alone in your car. Prayer can be silence, or movement, or song. Sometimes we might not know how to pray at all. At Root + Branch Church, we have found the words of poets to be helpful guides as we seek to speak the truths of lives in conversation with God. www.rootandbranchchurch.org
