About this episode
Pastor Thomas-Steele challenges the approach to prayer, emphasizing the importance of relationship over repetition.
Do you ever run on spiritual autopilot — saying prayers without really thinking about them? In “Say Less”, Pastor Thomas-Steele challenges the way many of us approach prayer, exposing how repetition can quietly replace relationship. Drawing from Jesus’ words in Matthew 6, this message reveals why prayer isn’t about word count, formulas, or trying to get God to do what we want — it’s about trusting a loving Father who already knows what we need. You’ll discover: • Why thoughtless repetition misses the heart of prayer • How prayer is meant to be relational, not transactional • What it looks like to move from striving to trusting God • Why sometimes the most powerful prayers are the simplest ones If you’ve ever felt stuck in routine prayers or wondered why prayer feels dry, this message will reset your perspective and draw you back into genuine connection with God. 👉 Watch now and learn why following Jesus sometimes means praying more — by saying less.
