While I was in Australia, I had the pleasure of speaking at a Theology on Tap in Sydney. \u00a0This was the first talk I\u2019ve done specifically on my book,\u00a0Arriving at Amen: Seven Catholic Prayers that Even I Can Offer<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>(out next week!) and I had a great time talking about my approach to prayer and fielding questions from the 400 people in attendance.<\/p>\n

My talk, which includes me doing a cha-cha basic in order to explain how I learned to pray the rosary, is below.<\/p>\n<\/iframe>\nSydney\u2019s Theology on Tap group also taped the questions and put them up, too. \u00a0Q&A tends to be my favorite part of a talk, since I get to think new thoughts in response to people\u2019s particular needs.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Arriving at
