How NOT to Pray - Jeremy Duncan
Manage episode 470569026 series 1170052
🙏 What if prayer isn’t what you thought? 🙏
If you’ve ever struggled with prayer, you’re not alone. Is it worship, wishful thinking, or something we say to make life better? Today, we’re diving into what prayer really means by exploring Jesus’ surprising critique of hypocrites, publicists, and pagans, as well as a hilarious yet heartfelt prayer from Tina Fey’s Bossypants.
We’ll unpack how prayer can be humorous, deeply honest, and profoundly human—all at once. Maybe prayer was never meant to be a formula, performance, or tool for divine manipulation. Maybe Jesus’ famous prayer—the one you’ve heard a thousand times—was always meant to teach us more about ourselves than about how to impress God.
Join us as we reimagine prayer together, laughing, reflecting, and rediscovering a practice that might just be bigger—and simpler—than we’ve ever imagined.
Let’s talk about how to pray—and why honesty matters more than perfection.
