This week on Clearly, Jimmy and Kelly dive headfirst into the wonderful, awkward, deeply frustrating practice of prayer. Why does it feel so impossible sometimes? Why do we ghost the Almighty? And what on earth do succulents have to do with spiritual independence?

From hallway floor prayers to apron-based theology, this one is honest, encouraging, and very on-brand (read: unhinged but helpful). They tackle:

  • Why we aim too high and get discouraged

  • What idealism and self-reliance have to do with our prayer avoidance

  • The not-so-subtle role of spiritual warfare

  • And why your real, tired, distracted self is exactly who God wants to hear from

📚 Books mentioned:

  • A Praying Life by Paul E. Miller

  • Enjoy Your Prayer Life by Michael Reeves

If you’ve ever felt like prayer is more guilt-trip than gift—this episode might just reframe the whole thing.
