Summary

The fastest way to fall in love with people? Ask them what they're praying for. Or let them pray for you.

This is a deeply personal episode. Danielle opens up about the end of her marriage and how prayer—both hers and others'—became a lifeline.

She shares how carrying twelve friends' prayers through the sacred temples of Egypt opened her up to the intimacy of prayer—raw, messy, holy. She talks about moving from "polished petitions" to unfiltered conversations with the Divine, and the healing power of asking others to hold you in prayer when your own heart is breaking.

In this episode:

Danielle's deeply personal reflection on heartbreak
A Prayer from Michelle for Broken Hearts
How asking for prayers during heartbreak becomes medicine
Why the most powerful prayers are messy and real
