Pop-Up Prayer: Guest Jean Heaton

Joe Paprocki Ignatian Spirituality

Pop-Up Prayer hosted by Joe Paprocki

I firmly believe that 12-step practices can teach us much about spirituality and, specifically, prayer. In this episode of Pop-Up Prayer, I ask Jean Heaton, author of Helping Families Recover from Addiction: Coping, Growing, and Healing through 12-Step Practices and Ignatian Spirituality, to share some insights about how each of us can find strength in prayer when we find ourselves at “the end of our rope” and experiencing powerlessness.

For more information about 12-step practices and Ignatian spirituality, check out the following links:
