Tish Harrison Warren: Slow Answers to Hard Prayers

The bestselling author of “Prayer in the Night” on practicing silence amid the noise of social media and why God sometimes travels at three miles per hour.

In this episode, Heather talks with bestselling author Tish Harrison Warren about prayer and what it means to communicate with God during our seasons of suffering. Tish explains how sometimes your prayer life doesn’t need more words, but more silence. Tish’s honest insights will encourage you on how to navigate the vulnerability of the human experience, and how to keep praying even when God feels far away.
