In this premier episode we briefly introduce our hosts Dr. Don Love, Jennifer Love, and Chris Darius and give a little teaser for what is to come this season. You will hear a bit about: how a curious question from one of his college students about Jesus led Dr. Love to what has been called listening and inner-healing prayer; how that changed the course of his life and ministry; and a brief discussion about the Biblical basis for listening prayer from John 14-17.

Jen shares about how Neil Anderson's "Steps to Freedom" and her prayer "Lord, in any ways you have spoken to your people in scripture, would you speak to me?" led her to begin to see prayer in a new light; Don shares how you are likely already practicing listening prayer, regardless of your church background.

Don shares how watching Jen's journey and reading Rusty Rustenbach's "A guide for Listening and Inner-Healing Prayer" led him to from skepticism to belief as he grew to understand Jesus' teaching on the Holy Spirit and began experimenting with listening and Inner-healing prayer in his own prayer life. Even from his first session, he discovers the reason behind his struggle to love Christians who seemingly fail to stand up for what was right.

Chris, Jen, and Don discuss Don’s early experimentation with “The Garden of the Heart Prayer.” Don shares his initial skepticism toward God speaking through pictures in prayer and his initial struggle concerning if what he saw and heard in prayer was biblical, and the lasting life change that resulted. Don and Jen discuss a real-life example to illustrate the importance of leading others to hear from the Lord themselves, rather than too quickly sharing our interpretations of images someone else ...

In this episode, Don and Jen discuss how all too often there is a “question behind the question” that never gets addressed. Don overviews a prayer session that demonstrates why seemingly theological questions are often really seeking answers to deeper, more personal, questions. In Madison’s case, a question about the Holy Spirit turns out to be more of a question concerning whether the size of her body determines if she is worthy to be loved.

In this episode, Don and Jen debrief on praying through things with Madison, field questions, lead in a sample listening and inner-healing prayer, and Madison shares some of her thoughts concerning her prayer session 5 years ago and her current relationship with her family and food.

In this Episode Don, Jen, and their Pray Through It team answer questions during their Lexington North Carolina Venture Out Retreat. Questions include: How can we know if we or the person we are praying with has experienced real and lasting spiritual breakthrough through prayer?

After surrendering his career to Christ, Don waited for God's leading on when to begin leading his classes in listening and inner-healing prayer.

The student we are interviewing today was not a believer at the time. And at first, he sat in the front row mocking Don as he led the class in prayer. That is, until he began to understand what he was seeing. Perhaps there was something more to Christianity than what he experienced growing up as a child physically and verbally abused at the hands of his father (who was a well-respected Deacon at their church)? After the suicide of a friend from bootcamp, this Marine considered the possibility th...

Don and Jen recount what happened when things came to a head when they were called into the Dean's office to describe what it was that they were doing in their prayer meetings.
