Hi, friends. Welcome to another episode of That Sounds Fun, spiritually stronger. I'm your host,

Annie F. Downs. I'm so happy to be here with you today. Listen, if you've ever felt stuck,

don't have the words to pray, or you felt so discouraged or disoriented that you don't know where to start, this conversation is for you. Also, if you're a let's read the Gospels super fan like I am, if you love those Gospels, y'all better buckle up. This is one that is going to light you up. Today on the show, I get to talk with my new friends, Brad Gray and Brad Nelson, who are both with the organization Walking the

text, where they help people understand the original meaning and context of scripture. They've been

friends for over 25 years and have now gotten to work on a documentary, a TV series, and a book all around the Lord's Prayer.

You're going to get to hear about all three. We'll give you links to all of them. Don't worry.

But their depth of knowledge around Scripture is incredible. And they're helping us today figure out

how we use the Lord's Prayer in our daily rhythms with God. There's some really practical ways to do this that we talk about at the end,

and I think you're going to want to get your note-taking pages ready.

We're, of course, unpacking all of this over on spiritually stronger.com as well.

So please come join us as we process there together through the stories I'm going to tell you, but also in the

comments. I'm loving the comments over there. Okay, y'all, here is my conversation with my new

friends, Brad Nelson and Brad Gray.

People who I'm friends with are people who I want to be friends with. That's it. I'm not great at talking to strangers, so y'all have now signed up to be friends with me.
