Episode 43 - How to Pray (Like a Man!)

There's something very intimate and vulnerable about prayer.  And let's face it, that can be intimidating for guys.  It's almost as if a prayer life is better suited for women, to whom communication and emotionality often come easier.  But prayer is much too important to leave off, even if it proves difficult and awkward.  Like anything else, given the right approach, prayer can find its own character and richness in the life of a man. 

Chad pulls a switcheroo as he dresses to the nines for full effect in this sermon-slash-episode, while Ben's left confusedly pretending to concelebrate in a collar.  The two hit their knees and offer up some insight on the why's and how's of prayer.  What are some good, manly reasons why we need a healthy prayer life?  What are some common obstacles to prayer, and what are some practical tips for overcoming them?  At the end, Chad and Ben offer a prayer aloud to model how simple and straightforward praying can be.
