6. Hey God, It’s Me: Prayer 101 (Dr. Barbara Peacock)

Is prayer your first step, or last resort? It can be a little awkward to keep a conversation going with someone you can’t see or speak to in person. But what if our prayer time wasn’t meant to be an occasional check-in? What if our prayers were meant to be part of an ongoing chat with our best friend, someone who loves us, who wants to hear about all the details of our life, and who willingly comes alongside us in every moment? God created us to be in deep relationship with Him—two-way conversations included. Join your hosts Rasool Berry and Dr. Christin Thorpe as they sit down with Dr. Barbara Peacock to explore different ways we can maintain a daily dialogue with our Creator.
