Summary

What does a good movie, our desire for the best job, and that perfect picture we just posted on Instagram have to do with each other? None of these things is wrong in itself. But when we begin to allow the things of the world to control us, we miss out on the joy of God's call for deeper intimacy in our hearts.

In this week's episode we discuss the battle for our hearts which is also a battle for our time. We want to learn to pray well because that's how we give God authority over our lives. But part of praying well is stepping away from distractions, even good ones.

God calls us to transform our half-hearted, distracted, disconnected prayer life into a vibrant, meaningful, intentional way of communicating with our Father.
