🎙️ Teach Us to Pray: Hope and Healing in Dark Times

📖 Scripture: Luke 11:1–13




In this deeply personal episode, Vincent explores the power of prayer through the lens of Luke 11:1–13—where Jesus teaches us to ask, seek, and knock. But what does prayer look like when you’re queer, hurting, or on the edge of giving up?


This week’s episode weaves together:


  • 💔 Reflections on the recent shutdown of the LGBTQ youth service on the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
  • 🎨 A moving listener story from a nonbinary artist who found prayer in watercolor
  • 🕯️ Quotes from LGBTQ+ spiritual voices like Broderick Greer and Andrea Gibson
  • 🫁 A guided breath prayer for moments of anxiety, sadness, or spiritual numbness
  • 📞 Affirming mental health resources and a closing blessing for every weary heart



Whether you’ve grown up with faith or are reclaiming it in your own way, this episode is a sacred space to breathe, feel, and remember: your prayers still matter—even if they’re messy, silent, or angry.




🌈 You are loved. You are not alone. And your breath is holy.
