In this episode, we 'dig deeper' by breaking down The Lord's Prayer, as written in Matthew 6:9-13 (NIV):
"Our Father in Heaven
Hallowed be Your Name
Your Kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven
Give us today our daily bread
And forgive us our debts,
As we also have forgiven our debtors
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from the evil one"
