In this episode of the Going Deeper podcast, I’m joined by my friend Bethany for a heartfelt conversation about prayer—especially in the thick of motherhood. Bethany shares her journey to faith and how her prayer life has grown and changed over the years. We talk honestly about the struggle to stay connected to God when life feels loud and overwhelming, and how prayer doesn’t have to be formal or perfect—it can simply be a real, ongoing conversation with the Lord. We also reflect on the power of praying in community, the legacy our prayers leave for our children, and how vulnerability with God is where intimacy begins. Whether you feel confident in your prayer life or completely scattered, I hope this episode reminds you that God just wants your heart—and He’s always ready to listen.
