What is prayer, really?

If God already knows everything… why do we pray?

How do we pray?

And does it matter how long, how often, or even what we say?

In this episode, we step into the tension and the beauty of prayer—not as a formula, but as a relationship.

Franchesca shares powerful, real-life moments of intercessory prayer during her daughter Maddie's health journey, alongside biblical truth that reminds us prayer is not passive—it's powerful.

We'll walk through:

• Why we pray even when God already knows

• Different types of prayer seen throughout Scripture

• What it means to truly carry someone else's burden in prayer

• The difference between asking and praising

• How to begin praying… even when you don't have the words

Prayer isn't about perfection.

It's about connection.
