There is a lot of interest in prayer these days. And there are a lot of questions surrounding prayer:

How do I pray? What is the purpose of prayer? Does prayer work?

There are a lot more questions and in this episode John explores these and other questions you’ve likely asked before. All these questions can make prayer a playground for doubt…and for growth.

Helping with these questions, John uses some of the writings and words of people who are much better equipped to handle these questions on prayer; among them are Anne Lamott, Franciscan Priest Richard Rohr, and Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury in England. And of course, Jesus who was asked by his disciples to teach them about prayer (Luke 11:1-13).
