Tyler Staton | Prayer As An Invitation, 202

44 minutes

Tyler Staton, Amber, and Sam discuss prayer as an invitation to intimacy, how prayer is to risk trusting someone who might let you down, and three Biblical prayers for when you're feeling dry and weary.

Questions Discussed During Prayer As An Invitation to Intimacy:

Share a little about how your journey with Jesus began? You share about the summer you spent walking around your middle school praying. Share a little of that journey with us and what kept you showing up day in and day out?

As we dive into this conversation about prayer, I ask this with love for the body of Christ and humor. I have a friend who pastors and has found countless cringe worthy stories from opening the church to public prayer. What is one of the funniest/most awkward prayer stories you have?

Page 5 of Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools you write, "Most of us get about knee deep in the Christian life, discover that the water feels fine and stop there. We never swim in the depths of the divine intimacy Jesus won for us." How would you describe some of what we're missing when we stay knee deep?

You also write, "To pray is to risk trusting someone who might let you down. To pray is to get our hopes up. And we've learned to avoid that. So we avoid prayer." Dig into that a little for us.

For the chronically religious, what guidance would you offer when prayer becomes a chore instead of a joy?
