But what does it mean to have God as our Father, and what's the significance of God being "in Heaven"? Hint: It's not about His physical location. The phrase 'Our Father, Who Art in Heaven' signifies the importance of recognizing God's authority and sovereignty as our Father.

2023-05-3130 minHolystic Christian Prayer014 The Lord's Preamble (Lord’s Prayer series)Be a guest on the show!Even Jesus taught His disciples how not to pray before teaching them how to pray. In this episode, we study two things Jesus says we should avoid when praying. Hypocrites pretend to be someone they are not, especially in matters of religion, desiring admiration and praise. Spiritual hypocrites use prayer to seek attention and admiration from others rather than fostering a genuine relationship with God. Genuine prayer leads to a reward from God - the focused attention of God and the experience of His presence. Jesus warns a...

2023-01-2759 minHolystic Christian Prayer010 Know Thy Enemy Part 1 (Says Who? mini series)Be a guest on the show!The enemy. The Devil. Satan. Lucifer. He has many names.

In this episode, we get a more accurate picture of who the Devil is, what he's about, and why he wages an often invisible war against those seeking God. You might not believe in the Devil, but your disbelief won't halt...

Busyness is probably cited as the number one reason. I'm too busy! Jesus was busy. Martin Luther was busy. Countless numbers of Christians throughout history have been busy, and probably, busier than any of us. If we are honest, we use our busyness as an excuse. In this episode, I try to gently convince you that no matter how busy you are, making time for regular prayer is very doable. It might not be easy, but it's not...
