About this episode

John Mark explores the concept of fixed-hour prayer and its significance in maintaining a relationship with God.

What does it mean to "pray continually"? John Mark explores Paul's command to pray without ceasing and introduces the ancient practice of fixed-hour prayer: pausing multiple times throughout the day to reorient your heart and mind toward God. He shows us how prayer is less about getting God to do something and more about moving through all of life in joyful, grateful relationship with Him. Key Scripture Passages: 1 Thessalonians 5v16-18; Psalm 55v17; Daniel 6v1-10; John 15 This podcast and its episodes are paid for by The Circle, our community of monthly givers.
