Summary
In this powerful and practical conversation, I sat down with Addison Bevere to unpack one of the most common struggles in the Christian life: prayer. If you've ever felt like you're "bad at prayer," distracted, or unsure what to say, this episode meets you right there and gently reframes everything. Addison shares that even growing up in a spiritually strong family, he felt like he didn't measure up.
His journey into understanding prayer began from a place of deficiency, not mastery.

| 1:19.9 | And so he spent the last two and a half years. |
| 1:22.4 | He's now at like something like five to seven years of really leaning in an understanding prayer on a biblical |
