The purpose of DriveTime Devotions is to help you know God's Word and put it into practice. Episodes are designed to be listened to once per day, five days a week. That way, you can miss two days each week and still stay on schedule. We believe it's better to study small sections of God's Word each day instead of a larger section once a week. Studying the Bible is like eating—you'll be healthier if you eat small amounts each day rather than one big meal a week! As you listen to DriveTime, we ...

The Purpose, Practice, and Power of Prayer: A Saddleback Church Small Group Study
Buddy Owens | Saddleback Church | Lumivoz

But God has equipped us, empowered us, authorized us, and called us to partner with him in accomplishing his purposes on the earth. And we do it primarily through prayer. This is a small group Bible study series by Buddy Owens from Saddleback Church. Download the study g ...
