Practicing God’s presence (the fourth essential in this series of eight) is a deeply biblical idea, though the exact phrase is never used in Scripture. Most popularly associated with Brother Lawrence, the phrase, at heart, means “discerning, and developing habits for discerning, an awareness of God’s presence.”
In his weekly adult Sunday school class at Christ Church of Atlanta, Dr. Boa discusses his new book Life in the Presence of God. He explains the motivation behind the book, its relationship (as a sequel) to Rewriting Your Broken Story, and an overview of its content. He also talks about the companion training guide A Guide to Practicing God’s Presence.
Dr. Boa continues his discussion of the work and spiritual habits of two great practitioners of God’s presence: Frank Laubach and Brother Lawrence.
Jesus practiced God’s presence, and he invited all who have trusted their lives to him to do the same. In this session, Dr. Boa explores the Gospels for verses about this important invitation.
