Prayer is the door we enter to discover God’s heart of unending grace and the home we have always wanted.  The place where we can crawl into our Father’s lap and find our purpose.

In today’s episode we are leaning into a topic that is foundational to our lives as followers of Jesus and that is PRAYER.  It’s through prayer where we learn to trust that God has immeasurably more for us through His Son Jesus. As I am watching God grow and develop this dream He put on my heart through Rise Collective Women, He continues to teach me so much about the power of prayer and the gift of communicating with Him.

If you struggle with prayer, find yourself doubting the effectiveness of prayer, or want to know if God even hears you when you pray, this conversation will encourage you today.

Dr. Derwin L. Gray joins the conversation today to talk about what prayer is and to help us lay a theological foundation for our understanding. Dr. Gray is the founding and lead pastor of Transformation Church, a multiethnic, multigenerational, mission-shaped community just south of Charlotte, North Carolina. He has written several books, including the bestselling The Good Life and most recently God, Do You Hear Me?.
