Summary
In this episode, Julia chats with Ruth Holgate, Director of St Beuno’s retreat centre in Wales, about prayer as a simple and personal conversation with God. Ruth shares her journey from growing up Catholic to deepening her faith through retreats, theology studies, and spiritual direction. She talks about the impact of her first 30-day silent retreat and why it’s important to find your own way to pray. They explore the ups and downs of prayer and discernment, with Ruth reminding us that there’s no wrong way to pray. Just show up, keep it simple, and stay open. Find out more at www.thinkingfaith.org
