This video series use artwork to help people deepen their prayer life. Combined with the use of scripture, artwork becomes a tool to aid participants both speak with and listen to God. This practice is often called Visio Divina (which translates as Divine Seeing). The videos come in two forms:

1. The full "Praying With an Artist and Their Work" episodes. These are 17 to 25 minutes. On YouTube.

2. The shorts "60 Seconds with an Artist and Their Work" which are clips from the larger episodes.  On YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.

You are encourage not just to watch the episodes but to use them to spur you to prayer.  

1. Try to find a quiet place where you can focus on God while watching the video.

2. I personally like a larger screen for seeing the details in the art; however, this is not necessary. Allow God to use whatever device you are using to connect with you.

3. Remember that you are not so much looking at the art and trying to understand it, as you are listening for what God has to say to you through the image.

4. If you need more time at any point in the video, be willing to pause it.

5. If the vocal guidance bothers you, mute it. Simply use the video.

6. Keep a pen or pencil and paper near you. If you find yourself distracted, write down what is distracting you so that you can come back to it after you are finished with prayer.

While leading people into prayer, I am committed to:

1. The artwork does not need to be Christian in theme nor by a Christian artist for God to speak to us through the artwork.

2  God can use a diverse set of art from classic to contemporary, from all styles and eras to reach us.

3. God can be revealed through male, female, and non-binary artists, art from a variety of countries, and art from various races. 

4. Living artists deserve to be paid for the use of their work in the program. I strive to find rights for all artworks especially art not within the public domain.

5. Because images are powerful, I strive to use the Inclusive Bible or other scriptures that use inclusive language for humanity and God rather than burden us with images that are exclusive and potentially harmful. (Some older episodes did not meet this expectation).
