Join Bobbi from Commons Church on March 23, 2025, as she explores the powerful line from the Lord's Prayer: "Give us today our daily bread." This isn't just about physical food, but about all our needs – physical, emotional, and spiritual.

In this thought-provoking talk, Bobbi delves into the historical and social context of this prayer, connecting it to the Exodus story and the concept of Sabbath rest. She shares personal reflections on her own prayer journey and the many forms prayer can take.

What makes this message truly unique is the integration of Polyvagal Theory. Bobbi explains the three systems of survival – freeze, fight/flight, and social engagement – and how they relate to our ability to trust and have our needs met. Discover how our bodies are designed for connection and collaboration in receiving what we need, and how this ties into the act of prayer.

We'll explore different interpretations of "daily bread," from literal sustenance to a metaphor for a new kind of tomorrow. Plus, hear prayers from various traditions, including the First Nations Version of the New Testament.

Whether you're new to prayer or have been practicing for years, this message will offer fresh insights and a deeper understanding of how prayer connects us to God and to each other.

The Lord's Prayer and "daily bread"
Historical and social context of prayer
