Episode 271: Breath Prayer And Biblical Meditation with Jennifer Tucker

 
 
 

When Jennifer Tucker’s daughter was diagnosed with an anxiety and panic disorder, she found herself facing her own struggle with anxiety. In a desperate moment in the hospital, Jenn found deep solace in breath prayer, a centuries-old practice that combines deep breathing and Scripture. This, along with another ancient approach called Lectio Divina, became tools that she used to navigate and care for her physical, mental and spiritual health. Even though she never dreamed of being an author, the Lord opened a door that led to publishing her books Breath As Prayer and Present In Prayer. In this week’s episode, Jenn shares the details of these ancient practices and how we can use them in our daily lives.
