Deep dives
Developing a daily prayer rhythm
The speaker advocates for a three times a day daily prayer rhythm, drawing from the church's first 300 years. The goal is to bring back this practice into the lives of ordinary believers.
Understanding the motif of paradise in scripture
The podcast explores the motif of paradise in the Bible, specifically looking at how Jesus refers to meeting the criminal in paradise. This reveals a connection to the Garden of Eden and the present availability of paradise through prayer.
Resting into God's presence
The conversation discusses the invitation to relax into God's presence, specifically through experiences of rest and encounters with paradise. Resting in God's goodness and grace allows for a deeper connection to His presence and the possibilities of every moment.
Engaging with God in the midst of everyday life
The speakers share personal practices of prayer in the midst of busy and ordinary life. This includes finding God's presence in changing diapers, engaging with Him during runs or walks, and using pre-written prayers or journaling to connect.
Praying the promises of God
The podcast emphasizes the importance of praying the promises of God, aligning circumstances with the truth of God's promises, and building prayer on the foundation of the truth rather than solely reacting to circumstances.
The ultimate discovery of prayer is intimacy. Requests first bring us to our knees, but it’s relationship that keeps us praying. In this extended finale, our guests throughout the season join us in a roundtable format to share the secrets of their own prayer lives.
