National Public Radio (NPR) “Fresh Air” program just ran an interview with anthropologist T.M. Luhrmann about her new book “When God Talks Back.”

The cool thing about this is that the book is based upon Luhrmann’s research at various Vineyard Christian Fellowship churches on folks personal relationship with God and how this relationship is cemented through prayer.

I highly recommend everyone listen to this interview as it the study has some awesome ramification for the church in general. Note that there are some squirming comment in the talk as both the interviewer, Terry Gross, and Luhrmann have a different worldview then followers of Jesus (“squirming” in that they ask some good questions that sometimes we tend to overlook..) 😛

Regardless, I personally cannot wait to get a hold of her book so I can drill into things a bit more. 😀

I should also mention that I had the pleasure of hearing part of this study at 2011 Society of Vineyard Scholars conference where Luhrmann was a keynote speaker….
