About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of prayer as a spiritual discipline and Jesus' teachings on how to pray.

Second Baptist Church - Houston, TX | Prayer is one of the most important spiritual disciplines, but oftentimes, our experience of it can be marked by disillusionment, distraction, and even detachment. Jesus, however, teaches His disciples how to pray, because it's not intuitive for us. His instruction to them back then is the same as it is for us today: not technique mastery, not spiritual mantras, but simple invitation.
