Podcast #3: Icons and Prayer

Hello Waterworks Ministries Podcast Listeners! Here is podcast #3 with iconographer Jody Cole. Jody has an amazing depth and breadth of knowledge about many spiritual topics, and it was a pleasure to interview her for this podcast. 

I have written icons for friends and family since taking an icon writing workshop in 2011 with Jody, and it is a centering and calming way of prayer for me. May you be blessed by hearing from Jody about an ancient way of prayer.

You can reach Jody through www.jcoleicons.com. You can view different icons, see workshops, and learn more about Jody on her website. 

Grace and Peace Friends!
