The Purpose & Power of Prayer (Part 1): Why We Pray: The Purpose Behind the Conversation
In today’s episode, we begin a three-part journey into something every believer wrestles with at some point: Why do we pray if God already knows everything?
Together, we explore the beauty, intimacy, and transformative power of prayer—how it anchors us in God’s presence, recenters our hearts, and reminds us who we belong to.
Through Scripture, honest reflection, and practical encouragement, this episode invites you to slow down, breathe, and return to the One who already knows your needs before you speak a word.
