What if the key to becoming more like Jesus isn’t talking more, but listening better? In this message on the spiritual discipline of prayer, we explore how prayer is far more than words—it's deep, meaningful communication with God. With humor, real-life stats, and a fresh look at the Lord’s Prayer, we’re invited to rediscover prayer not as a task, but as a relationship with our heavenly Dad. Whether you’re new to prayer or looking to grow deeper, this message offers a practical blueprint and a challenge to pray for 5 minutes each day for the next 30 days. 

Group Discussion Questions:

1. Jesus begins the Lord’s Prayer with “Our Father.” How does viewing God as a loving Father shape your confidence and honesty in prayer?

2. What has your prayer life looked like lately—more like a monologue, a checklist, or a conversation? How might viewing prayer as “communication with your heavenly Dad” change your approach?

3. We often overestimate our own words and underestimate God’s presence. What would it look like for you to prioritize presence over performance in your prayer life?

4. The message challenged us to “show up and listen.” What are some practical ways you can make space to listen to God this week? What distractions might you need to address?
