Welcome. I’m Ricky Spears and I’m your host here at Mindful Worship. Up to this point, I’ve only posted Mindful Worship meditations on this site and through the podcast. This is the first of what I expect will be many more articles related to the concept of mindful worship. I’ll be publishing the text of these articles on the site so you can read them online, and I’ll also be recording myself reading them so those of you who only subscribe to the podcast feed in iTunes or some other podcast downloading program will be able to access the articles as well. So read it online, listen to it online, or listen to it on your MP3 player—whatever works best for you!
