Persistent Prayer: Dr. Guy Richard
Why do we pray? What is prayer?
In this episode Jonathan welcomes Dr. Guy Richard to discuss your most common questions about prayer. He is the author of Persistent Prayer and Executive Director and Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary in Atlanta.
Together, Jonathan and Dr. Richard unpack the misunderstandings of prayer, explain how prayer can be misused, and offer clarity on how a vibrant prayer life is vital to a healthy relationship with the Lord.
Dr. Richard also helps us to unpack issues such as:
- Having your own prayer life.
- Your prayer life in church.
- What are the spiritual warning signs of prayer-less-ness?
- What is the relationship between prayer and God’s will?
We hope this episode will enrich your prayer life and stir you toward a deeper walk with Jesus through prayer.
