Amy sits down with Matt Smallbone, lead pastor of Church of the City in downtown Nashville and author of the new book The Prayer Experiment. Before he was a pastor he spent over a decade touring the world as a bass player with artists including Michael W. Smith, Rebecca St. James, and KING + COUNTRY. 

Matt openly admits he once struggled with prayer himself and what happened when he committed to praying the Lord's Prayer every single day for a year will genuinely surprise you…from this The Prayer Experiment was born.

The Prayer Experiment is a book for anyone who has ever felt like they don't pray right, given up because prayer felt dry and formulaic, or quietly wondered if it even makes a difference. Matt weaves together biblical teaching, honest personal stories, and a little Aussie humor to explore each phrase of the Lord's Prayer. It includes a thirty day guide to help you build a prayer practice that actually sticks. The surprising truth? You never outgrow the Lord's Prayer. It is simple enough for a child, deep enough for a theologian, and strong enough to hold you for a lifetime.
