Summary
What if we really took Christianity seriously and truly lived out the teachings of Christ? When it comes to prayer Jesus said, “When two or three gather in my name I am there among them” (Matthew 18:20). If we really believed this, how would we pray? How would we live our lives, knowing that God was with us in prayer? Jeff zeros in on what we can learn from the Our Father in today’s episode.
The Great Adventure Catholic Bible is sold out, but more are being printed right now! To be alerted as soon as this Bible is available again, click here.
"As children of God, prayer takes on two fundamental dispositions: First, the desire to become like God, and second, a humble and trusting heart that enables us to turn and become like children."

| 0:50.8 | myself too every once in a while you have to calibrate your life and you have to, you know, take a look at, well, what do I believe? You know, what do I believe about prayer?

| 1:27.4 | intellectual acknowledgement, but there's an obedience of faith that is really |
