The Christian Jung on Substack
Jesus told us where real prayer happens: "When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen" (Matthew 6:6). The Inner Room is where I take you each week. You receive an email every Sunday as a weekly devotional practice rooted in contemplative prayer. Each month you join a webinar teaching with me to help answer your questions and develop your practice further. Plus, you get bonuses like art practices, journal prompts, ways to understand what your dreams may mean. $12 a month. Cancel anytime.
You feel spiritually disconnected, even though you are doing all the right things.
You want spiritual practices that change you, not just inform you.
Church has left your deeper questions unanswered.
God is calling you deeper.
The free article opens the door. The Inner Room walks you through it.
Drawn from the church's own ways of prayer: Lectio Divina, Centering Prayer, the Jesus Prayer, active imagination, and Visio Divina.
A prayer from the saints and mystics, and a journaling question to carry into your week.
We gather on Zoom once a month, and we open in contemplative prayer before a word is taught.
Bring your questions. You are not walking this alone.
Cancel anytime. No contracts, no pressure.
You begin noticing God in places you once overlooked: in dreams, symbols, Scripture, and the quiet movements of the soul that modern Christianity often ignores.
Prayer becomes more honest and alive, shifting from religious performance to real conversation with God.
You learn to recognize the false spiritual identities you inherited and slowly discover the person God has been forming beneath them.
Ancient contemplative practices become part of your daily rhythm, giving the Spirit room to work beneath the surface of ordinary life.
"It's sooo good!!!!!! I have been exclaiming to my husband that most devotionals I've seen/read are so shallow. This is meat!! I love it!!!"
"The membership made me value structure in the Word. I enjoyed it!"
"Each week Angela exceeds my expectations, grounds her work deep in Scripture and church history, and then shows me how to do it practically, all while keeping psychology in a healthy place.
Absolutely. Everything here is Christ-centered and deeply contemplative. We pray the way the church has prayed for two thousand years, and we use Jung's insights as tools, never as theology.
No. Contemplation is not borrowed from another religion. It belongs to the Desert Fathers and Mothers, Teresa of Avila, and John of the Cross. We honor orthodox Christian faith.
Not at all. You don't need to be an expert. You just need to be open.
Go at your own pace. Ten minutes a week or an hour a day, there is something here for you.
Yes. No contracts, no pressure.
