Join us at ‘Desert Well’ this week as we unpack theimpactful conversation we had on last week’s episode with Barry about prayer. We will dive deep into what it means to move from discipline to devotion and duty to delight in our relationship with God.

In this raw and honest conversation, we wrestle withquestions like: What's the difference between being disciplined and being devoted? Can prayer be both a duty and a delight? And how do we create space for meaningful connection with God beyond just checking boxes?

Plus, we share our new practice of praying throughthe Psalms with Jesus by inviting you to take a look at these two books, CSB Psalm Journal: https://a.co/d/6BCjiZM and ESV Psalm Journal: https://a.co/d/5qViyKJ .
