Sarah and Rich are joined by a very special guest — Larissa Holland! Larissa is Rich’s wife, and we’re so glad she could be part of this meaningful conversation.
While Steve will be back soon, the crew wanted to begin a new series of discussions around prayer, starting with Jesus’ model of prayer from Matthew 6. In this passage, Jesus clearly answers the question, “How should we pray?”
Together, they unpack what it means to be mindful of how we pray, especially when praying in front of others. Larissa shares candidly about how this can be a real struggle and how her prayer life has grown over the years. One major shift for her has been becoming more intentional, even asking God daily to reveal sin and draw her closer to Him. Sarah opens up about what prayer looks like in this current season of motherhood, and Rich reminds us that no matter what season we’re in, God always hears our prayers.
The crew highlights three key takeaways from Jesus’ example:
- Begin with praise and adoration.
- Invite God into your present moment.
- Humbly ask for conviction before bringing your requests.
This heartfelt conversation is full of encouragement, no matter where you are in your prayer journey.
