Welcome to another episode of "Practice" with Fredo Ramos! Today we explore the transformative power of prayer in spiritual formation.

Join us as we redefine prayer as a practice of communion with God that is grounded in love, creating an intimate perspective on this spiritual discipline. Go beyond viewing prayer as just a conversation, to understanding it is an ongoing relationship with Him. With honesty and vulnerability, prayer allows individuals to express their thoughts, emotions, and aspirations while receiving guidance and comfort.

Welcome to another episode of Sandals Church Podcast! In this episode Pastor Fredo Ramos talks about the importance of Intercessory prayer. 

He dives into the challenges and rewards of maintaining the discipline of prayer in contemporary times teeming with distractions and rampant cynicism. He also explores the role of faith in igniting both - prayer and purposeful action, and the crucial involvement of intercessory prayer as a form of spiritual warfare against forces disrupting unity and love.

In this episode, Pastor Fredo Ramos describes silence as a crucial part of spiritual formation. He discusses how silence confronts us with our internal noise—thoughts, emotions, and dreams that are often drowned by external distractions. Pastor Fredo describes silence as a presenting us with opportunities for self-awareness and spiritual growth.

Pastor Fredo Ramos explores the need for silent spaces in our noisy lives. He explains how it impacts health, cognitive functioning, and our spiritual connections. He emphasizes the critical role of silence in nurturing our relationship with God, whose voice can often get drowned out by the world around us. By creating regular rhythms of silence and prayer into our lives, we open ourselves up to incredible changes. This conscious choice can be transformative across multiple areas of our lives.

In this week's episode, we're stoked to have Matt's wife, Tammy, join us as we delve into Matt's upcoming book, "Every Day A Miracle." Our conversation sheds light on select chapters and recounts miraculous moments personally witnessed by Matt. 

This week's questions center around the holistic aspects of well-being—physical, mental, and spiritual. We explore questions such as Jesus' perspective on mental health, strategies for selecting the right therapist, the importance of establishing boundaries with family, and the nuanced nature of Jesus as both human and God's son. And that's just the beginning!

We invite you to share your thoughts in the comments, especially if you've already pre-ordered "Every Day A Miracle." Let us know if you find anything particularly impactful and meaningful, and encourage others to join the conversation. 

Pastor Matt explores the balance between physical fitness, emotional stability, and spiritual well-being. Addressing the essential role of discipline in achieving spiritual fitness and growth, he draws great comparisons between a dedicated physical workout regimen and maintaining spiritual health. 

He highlights the significance of community and collective strength in cultivating our spiritual journey. Showing how embracing life's challenges as a spiritual gym session can lead to strengthening our faith.

Bringing emotional health to the forefront, emotions play a huge role in shaping our decisions, leading to the course our lives take. As stated in biblical texts, the heart, centers human emotions. This aligns with modern science that show decisions are never made empty of emotions. Unchecked emotions can lead to impulsive decisions, such as when we admit to making purchases emotionally, leading to potential regrets.

Emotions can drive choices related to health, job, relationships, and religious practices, which may not benefit someone's long-term well-being. Overcoming these hurdles requires acknowledging the power of emotions and creating strategies to prevent their power in life's journey.
