What is prayer, really? In this episode of Spiritually Fit Today, host Arnie Cole and special guest Dr. Chuck Lawless dive deep into the true meaning of prayer. Many of us talk about prayer, but few can define it clearly. Chuck helps us cut through confusion and get practical about how to pray, why it matters, and how to overcome common obstacles. Together, they explore questions like: Why pray if God already knows everything? Does God answer every prayer? How do we discern God’s voice in prayer? And what about relying on others to pray for us?
Our scripture focus is James 5:16: "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." Discover how prayer is more than just talking—it's participating in God's power.
