Jesus gives his disciples what is often called "The Lord's Prayer" or the "Our Father." Afterwards, he tells a story about persistence and relates it to one's prayer life. What happens, however, when our prayers go unanswered despite persistent pleas? What is the point of prayer if it is not a gumball machine, dispensing what one wants after they've paid? Who does prayer change, us or God? Jonathan and Seth discuss why prayer matters. We do it at the end of each episode, after all.
We're glad you're with us! Is there a prayer practice you've found particularly meaningful? Is there a prayer you recite often? If so, we'd love to hear from you. We apologize that this episode was released late too. Like usual, it's Seth's fault!
