Summary

In this episode, I’m joined by Addison Bevere, and this conversation felt like a deep exhale for my soul.We talk about prayer but not in a way that adds more pressure or makes you feel like you’re “doing it wrong.” Addison brings so much wisdom around what it actually means to pray without ceasing, how prayer can be woven into the real rhythms of your everyday life, and how connection with God doesn’t have to look complicated or performative.
