Summary

A prayerless faith is an empty faith. On today's episode, author Valerie Woerner and I discuss PRAYER. Do you get distracted when you're praying? Is our entire generation too distracted to pray? I think it is a bigger issue than we think. Do you feel like, deep down, it's more of a last resort than a first priority?

Valerie and I dig into why prayer can be so difficult. We talk about seasons of chaos and busyness and the pull and distraction from the Enemy in these seasons. We discuss conversational prayer and why perfectionism shouldn't be a part of it, the messiness of the world and very practical tips to help you get to know Jesus on a much deeper level as a prayerful Christian.

This conversation was powerful and impactful for me and I pray that it is the same for you! If you enjoy it, please do take a second to share on social and tag @livingeasywithlindsey.
