475-Fix Your Faith 2: Our Prayer Life Sucks

“How would you describe your “prayer life?” Do you essentially pray the same thing every time? Are you inconsistent or are your prayers just a list of requests?

In today’s podcast and post we continue our series entitled “Fix Your Faith” by following Christ’s example of withdrawing from people to pray in secret. We’ll learn why prayer is not a ritual that we use for requests, but something much deeper.

Join me now as we fix our prayer life by looking closer at those moments when we think we are talking to ourselves, and extend that conversation into the entirety of life.

Join me now as I reconnect us to the authentic Advent experience of the Kingdom in which everyone exists already. Learn how we can possess both today, from the solitude of our own internal desert.
