If you’re going to listen to any episode of HTG in full, let it be this one. On today’s podcast, we skip the sugar and plunge straight into the biting truth about prayer: one of organized religion’s most powerful and controversial pillars. We’ll talk about feeling betrayed by God, questioning His goodness, and what the church gets wrong. If you, too, have ever given up on prayer, stared evil down the barrel, or hated existing in your own head, you’re in good company.

I open up about wanting to be a better person, learning to forgive the unforgivable, and declaring my fantasies to God, before sharing skeptically-tested strategies for rekindling and elevating your relationship with prayer. This week’s episode prioritizes vulnerability in order to expose the striking, transformative, dynamic reality of prayer, our most precious art and most formidable tool.
