3 Myths About Prayer (And How to Pray Authentically)
Jesus, I need You right now. How many times have I whispered these words–or sobbed them–in desperation. When nothing else works, and all of my strength is used up, I finally let down my defenses and say the simple words. I let God in. But that’s the thing about prayer that most people don’t understand. Even I didn’t understand for the longest time. Prayer is not a one-way request line to heaven, but an intimate conversation with God. Sometimes it’s messy. Sometimes it’s silly. But it’s always real and always raw. Of course, we must unlearn a lot of what culture and other Christians have taught us about prayer in…

Why Prayer is Not a Waste of Time
On what should’ve been a quiet, peaceful Sunday morning, our nation was rattled by the tragic news of a shooting at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. Over two dozen are dead and many have been injured. In the face of such tragedy, many of us rally together in prayer and peaceful vigils. However, some people on social media are saying that prayers are useless. They don’t do anything to help, and therefore, a waste of time.

Limitless Faith
If you’re reading this, then there’s a really good chance you’re a Christian. Now I’m not a numbers person (hence why I’m a blogger), so I can’t give statistics. However, there are a lot of people–some even calling themselves Christians–who say they believe in God, but leave Him in the backgrounds of their lives. There’s no judgment here as this used to be me (and sometimes still is unfortunately). Here’s what I don’t understand. How can someone truly believe in God and not want more of Him? How can you believe in an all-powerful being who created the heavens, galaxies, and Earth and all of its inhabitants, and not want more?…
