You're listening to the Jeff Caven Show, episode 39, talking to God out loud.

Hey, I'm Jeff Cavens. How do you simplify your life? How do you study the Bible?

All the way from motorcycle trips to raising kids, we're going to talk about the faith and life in general.

It's the Jeff Kaven Show.

Welcome to the show. Glad you could join me again. We're talking this week about

being a modern day disciple and the practices of being a modern day disciple and some of the disciplines that we can bring into our life that will be fruitful and bring us closer to the Lord and allow the Lord to be glorified through our life.

And this week, I was really stuck on something that I wanted to talk to you about,

something that I've been doing more and more.

I've actually been doing this for many, many years, but this last few weeks, it has really become real to me in a new way and I want to share it with you and it's actually about praying and it's

about praying out loud to God throughout the day and I'm going to talk to you about

And I'm going to talk to you a little bit about that. I'm also going to share with you a couple of clips on YouTube of some instances that that really blew me away. One was an Orthodox Jewish woman in Jerusalem and her experience of talking

out loud to God and then the other is a beautiful young girl that I posted on my

Facebook page and I'm going to put the link in the show notes. She's part of a

choir and they're singing praise to God and they're all and they're singing the way little kids do except for one and she is beside herself herself. She just goes to town, praising God, and she is not ashamed at all, and I think you're going to enjoy it.

Hey, we got some good mail, and I want to thank you for emailing me. You can get a hold of me at the Jeff Caven show at ascension press.com and I got some really good feedback recently. I had a number of people who commented about my last show as I talked about
