Our Father: Rediscovering the Life-Shaping Power of the Lord’s Prayer

🔊 Episode Description:
When Jesus said, “Pray then like this,” He gave more than a prayer to recite
, He gave us a spiritual framework to live by.
In this foundational episode of the Christ Focused Network Podcast, we explore The Lord’s Prayer not as routine, but as revival. Line by line, we unpack how this ancient prayer orients our hearts toward worship, aligns us with God’s mission, and trains us in daily dependence, forgiveness, spiritual warfare, and eternal perspective.
With scriptural grounding and theological insight, Sam Johnston reframes the prayer into six life-shaping movements:
* Orientation: Worship – “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name…”
* Alignment: Mission – “Your kingdom come, Your will be done…”
* Dependence: Provision – “Give us this day our daily bread…”
* Reconciliation: Grace – “Forgive us… as we forgive…”
* Protection: Warfare – “Lead us not into temptation…”
* Position: Doxology – “Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory…”
This is more than teaching, it’s a call to transformation. We’re invited to pray not just with words, but with our lives.
📚 Resources Mentioned:
* Book: A Simple Way to Pray by Martin Luther
* Article: “The Lord’s Prayer Is Meant to Be Lived” – The Gospel Coalition
* Music Recommendation: “Spring” by Jonathan Ogden
🧠 5-Minute Heart Check (Reflection Questions):
* What part of your life needs to re-center around God’s holiness?
* Where can your schedule yield to the Kingdom today?
* Are you trusting God for enough, or clinging to excess?
* Who needs to experience the forgiveness you’ve received?
* What temptation do you need to name and resist, today?
