In this episode of The Chris Stefanick Show, I sit down with seminary professor Scott Powell to journey through Jesus’ prayer life, from the blazing summit of the Transfiguration to the raw honesty of the Psalms. We’ll strip away the fear of getting prayer “wrong,” unlock God’s original prayer playbook in Exodus, and give you a fresh, step-by-step guide to praying the Our Father with courage and freedom. Plus, learn how to wait on God like Simeon, eyes open, heart expectant.
