Praying can be difficult at any time, especially when we’re praying out loud with others. But God has given us his Spirit to help us. The Holy Spirit convinces us of who we are in Christ, corrects our prayers before they reach the Father, and initiates the conversation through his inspired Word. The Spirit is the reason Johnny (and Jenni) can pray. Be sure to stick around till the end of the episode as Mike and Matthew close it out with some practical helps for young brothers who want to start praying publicly in the local church.

Hospitality means “love of the stranger.” In all likelihood there are people who show up at your church gathering who feel like strangers because of social, ethnic, or cognitive differences. How can we support families who have a child with special needs? Or go beyond perfunctory nods and smiles to the newcomer from another culture? In this practical episode, Vince is back on the show to teach us how to widen our hearts to the marginalized.

There is no book like the Bible. Yet admittedly, sometimes the wonder of hearing the living Word of God proclaimed… doesn’t result in anything too wonderful in our hearts. How can I as a listener help the process, so that I profit more from listening to the Bible being taught?

One of the great things about the Christian faith is how even simple, physical activities – like eating – have spiritual significance and can be done to the glory of God. But our habits at the table sometimes reveal sins that we often overlook. Let’s take a brief, honest assessment and evaluate whether we are allowing the gospel to meet our dinner plates.

“Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less.” C. S. Lewis may not have said those exact words (Mike misattributes the quote to him in this episode), but they certainly express what Lewis taught. In this third episode going through The Screwtape Letters, we explore what true humility is, how one goes about getting it, and how to receive a compliment.
