How to listen to God, to be loved, and to love the least of these

Brad Jersak is an author and teacher based in Abbotsford, BC. He serves as a reader and monastery preacher at All Saints of North America Orthodox Monastery. He also occasionally teaches at The Bridge in Abbotsford. Through his books and seminars, Brad shares the good news that God is Love, perfectly revealed in Jesus Christ. He teaches others how to encounter God through the practice of ”listening prayer,” through which God’s love heals wounded hearts and empowers us to heal this broken world.

Brad Jersak’s foundational book, Can You Hear Me? Tuning in to the God who speaks trains readers in the ways of “Listening Prayer.” This book provides biblical teaching and 33 practical exercises for discerning God’s voice.

From this experience, Russel brings insights into how over time he has learned to incorporate a holistic biblical worldview into his understanding of leadership and the day-to-day real-world dynamics of project team culture, diversity, and management and why these are necessary for the long-term sustainable success of any team.
