28. Entering the Stories of Scripture

Linda Heaner is the Director of Abiding Hope Ministries. Today we have a conversation about how she, herself, enters the stories of scripture, and helps others to do the same. We'll talk about the beauty of imaginative prayer thru scripture as a way to connect with God. If you'd like to hear her read a few audio meditations for you to enter, we have a few recordings at http://patreon.com/onelifemaps as a thank you gift for your support of OneLife Maps and 'Listen to My Life.'She leads a team of facilitators who volunteer for Prison Fellowship Academy at The Minnesota Department of Corrections facility in Shakopee. Her experiences there have been profound, as she helps incarcerated women dive deeply into their stories, share them with one another, and invite God to heal their deep wounds. Freedom is found behind prison walls.Linda Heaner's BiographyLinda Joyce Heaner loves Jesus wholeheartedly.
