Welcome to the Yadkin Examen. The Examen is a weekly prayer podcast. Every Monday we take a moment to reflect on our week past, give thanks to God, and seek strength for the day and week to come. We use reflection questions from different sources to help us seriously pray and review our own spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical lives. Each episode begins with an excerpt from Sunday's sermon and ends with the scripture text.

Reflection questions selected from John Wesley and the Holy Club

Is Christ real to me?

Am I consciously or unconsciously creating the impression that I am better than I really am? In other words, am I a hypocrite?

Am I honest in all my acts and words, or do I exaggerate?

Reflection questions from the sermon and scripture text

What is the difference between “fishing for people” as a task or job verses it being an identity?

What identity are you holding onto too tightly?

How would your day to day life look different if your first identity was as a follower of Christ?
