They explore the profound meaning of "hallowed be your name" (asking God to glorify himself rather than us praising him), redefine eternal life as knowing God relationally rather than just living forever, and examine Jesus' intercession for his disciples with deep emotion and love.

It's the ultimate revelation of God's character through sacrificial loveUnity as Jesus's Priority: Believers being "one" as the Father and Son are one is what pleases Jesus most. Divisions among Christians displease GodDiscussion QuestionsPrayer Style: Jamie suggests using the Lord's Prayer as a template rather than just repeating it word-for-word. How do you typically approach this prayer, and how might viewing it as a framework change your prayer life?Hallowed Be Your Name: The hosts explain this as asking God to glorify himself rather than us making God's name holy. How does this shift in understanding change your perspective on God's role versus our role in making his character known?Eternal Life Redefined: Jesus defines eternal life as knowing God relationally rather than just living forever in heaven. How might this change how you think about your spiritual life and goals as a believer?Jesus's Intercession: Knowing that Jesus prays for you specifically brings comfort to the disciples. How does it feel to know Jesus continues to pray these words for modern believers like you?Unity Among Believers: Jesus says believers being "one" is what pleases him most.
