Summary

The Gang are out for a quick bite to eat at K.C.’s Alley. Todd’s struggling, he’s so eager for that first bite of veggie burger. But who will pray, and for how long, and do they even need to pray?! We’ve all found it distracting to bless our food at a restaurant or hesitated to bow our heads before non-Christians, or even with a Non-Christian, yet we are all called to pray, and sometimes it isn’t behind a shut door or in the quietness of our hearts. Today’s a discussion highlights the importance and purpose of public prayers … something we all ought to consider. Enjoy your burger, Todd.The Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals would like to offer you a free MP3 download entitled Holy Prayers of a Righteous People by Phil Johnson.

0:00.0	Welcome to Mortification of Spin, a casual conversation about things that count with Carl Truman, Todd Pruitt, and Amy Bird.
0:25.5	Mortification of Spin is a weekly podcast from the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals.
0:30.8	The discussion's still going on from two weeks back about public prayer, but now it's gone from charging those behind the pulpit to those

1:00.3	We're out to dinner and, oh, here comes our food, guys.
1:05.4	And I think it's time we should probably say grace.
1:08.3	We usually ask Carl to say grace before our meals.
1:10.9	But it's normally embarrassed to pray in public.
1:13.0	That's the problem.
1:13.9	Yeah, but we know that we get a nice quick prayer over the meal when we ask Carl.
1:19.1	My standard grace is, oh, Lord, we thank you this food I'm in.
1:22.6	That's it.
1:23.1	Yeah.
1:23.7	Heads up, eyes opened.
1:25.2	Don't let anybody know. And as we're all smelling our delicious dishes, we can be thankful and then dig in.
1:32.3	So that should open us up then to talk about.
1:34.4	We just did a bully pulpit on pastoral prayer and prayer and church.
1:39.5	And today we'd like to open it up and talk a little bit more about just praying in public, praying with others.
1:51.9	Yeah, it's interesting because when we go out for a meal and just as a family and we bow our heads to pray, I can't help but think every once in a while. I wonder what this
1:57.1	looks like to folks. I wonder if it's, if it's noticed. I remember one time when I was a kid and our
