Prayer Changes Everything - Ep. 220
About this episode
John Grdina shares how praying before engaging with technology transformed his mornings and deepened his faith.
In this episode of The John Grdina Classroom, a life faith podcast built on faith, family, fitness, and freedom, John shares a personal self-improvement practice that transformed his mornings: praying before checking email, social media, or the news — the same discipline Jesus modeled when He rose "a great while before day" to pray (Mark 1:35). This simple shift in his personal transformation journey has lowered his anxiety and deepened his trust that God works all things together for good. John opens up about journaling with God, finding clarity in his identity, and learning to surrender to God's will rather than chasing selfish desires — echoing Jesus's words in the Our Father, "thy will be done." He then shares a powerful story from a recent 50K ultramarathon with his brother, where he stopped to pray for a struggling runner on the trail, and later prayed through his own physical cramping mid-race.
