Summary:
In this episode of the Free to Be Podcast, Wes and Tj explore the nature of prayer in Christian life, discussing how it is often misunderstood and seen as a burdensome checklist item. They agree that prayer should not be viewed as a mere act of petitioning God for things, but as a deep, ongoing relationship. Referring to a verse from the Bible, 1 Thessalonians 5:17, they argue that the concept of 'pray continually' can and should be taken literally when prayer is viewed as a lifestyle, not just an event. They stress the importance of diversifying how we pray, fostering an atmosphere of prayer, and intertwining prayer with our daily lives.
