In this episode of Everyday Faith, I sit down with Pastor Todd to talk about something every believer knows about—but many struggle to stay consistent with: prayer.

What is prayer, really? Is it just talking… or is something deeper happening?

We dive into what prayer actually is, what’s happening spiritually when we pray, and why it’s often the first thing we neglect when life gets busy. Pastor Todd also speaks to the person who feels like they’re just talking to the ceiling—and the one who feels like God isn’t answering at all.

This conversation is real, honest, and grounded in faith—reminding us that prayer isn’t just a routine… it’s a powerful connection to God that can change everything.

We also dive into the impact of social media and information overload—how it affects our ability to hear God clearly, and what it takes to protect your mind, your heart, and what’s shaping you. He shares practical ways to filter out the noise, build discipline, and stay rooted in truth.

We wrap up with powerful insights on marriage, fatherhood, and leading a family with intention in today’s culture.
