My Atheist Husband Called Prayer Woo Woo For Years
For years, Jason thought prayer was “woo-woo.” Bringing God into everyday life did not make sense to him, while Malia continued praying for him for 15 years.
Today, prayer is one of the most important rhythms in their marriage and family.
In this episode, Jason and Malia talk honestly about why prayer can feel awkward, especially for new believers or couples who have never prayed together. They share how prayer slowly became part of their daily lives and how it changed the way they handle marriage struggles, anxiety, parenting, conflict, forgiveness, and difficult seasons.
They also share practical ways families can begin praying without making it complicated, including:
