Today we dive deep into Luke 11, where Jesus teaches the most foundational spiritual pattern of all time: The Lord’s Prayer. But we don’t just read it, we break it apart word by word, uncovering the cultural meaning, the Jewish context, the rabbinic structure, and the deep emotional weight Jesus intended.

We talk about why the disciples begged Jesus to teach them to pray, how “Father” would have sounded shocking to first-century Jewish ears, and what “daily bread” meant to a people living hand-to-mouth under Roman oppression.

Then we bring it home. We explore how prayer rewires the brain, calms the survival system, breaks denial, and gives you the courage to walk through your valley with honesty and hope. I share my own valleys: addiction, shame, striving, and learning to unclench from the life I was trying to control, and how the Lord’s Prayer became an anchor when I felt like I had none.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, exhausted, spiritually numb, or unsure how to pray… This episode is your roadmap back to connection, peace, and forward movement.
