Are you praying the right way? Many of us wonder if we're using the right words, or if God is even hearing us. The good news: Jesus gave us the perfect model, which if followed produces prayers that God loves to hear and loves to answer. Over the next six weeks, we're looking at The Lord's Prayer and applying the model Jesus gave us to everyday prayers.

In this conversation, Pastors Philip and Eric discuss that first line of the Lord's Prayer and unpack what it means to "hallow" God's name. 1:19

They answer important questions from the sermon:

1. Why do we pray to "Our Father in Heaven," and what can a person do if they have a difficult or painful relationship with their earthly father? 5:18
2. Why do some Bible translations use the phrase "in the heavens" when other translations don't? 11:56
3. What is meant by the "spiritual heaven" and "third heaven analogy" in Scripture? 17:49
4. What does it mean to "hallow" someone? 19:50
5. How do we live out hallowing God's name on a daily basis? 20:36
6. What does it look like to pray hallowing prayers? 23:53
