How to Grow in Prayer

About the Course

Did you know that God calls you to intimate union with Himself? He desires a deep and loving friendship with you. How can you realize this call to holiness? By frequent reception of the sacraments and a commitment to daily prayer.

Dan and Connie will release two video lessons a week for five weeks. A short video makes up the heart of each lesson. You will find links to further reading, downloads to help you process what you are learning, and questions to discuss with other students in a private forum. Three quizzes test your knowledge. For this course we have also added three live Q & A sessions via Zoom.

Expect two hours of total video content. That's like a full-day retreat, but broken down into small chunks that you can watch on your schedule. Find support from other students who are seeking to grow closer to God. Learn how to apply each lesson as you go. Get answers to your questions about prayer.

This course is not just about information. It's an opportunity for real spiritual growth. You will go away feeling inspired and equipped to take the next step toward intimacy with God.
