Episode Synopsis

BIG IDEA: Focus On Talking To God
Have you ever zoned out in the middle of a conversation? Like, your friend is in the middle of a story, or your teacher
is in the middle of a lecture, when you hear those dreaded words: "Hey. Are you even listening to me?" The answer,
of course, is no. You were busy thinking about that TikTok someone sent you earlier, and have no idea what they're
talking about. And if it's that easy to zone out in a conversation with a person who's standing right in front of us, you
know it's a million times easier to zone out in the middle of a conversation with God, who we can't really see or hear
in the usual ways. In those moments, I think about a conversation Jesus had with a woman at a well, because that's
exactly prayer is — a conversation. A back and forth. I know prayer can be a challenge, but remembering I'm talking to
a God who is both listening and talking back to me is what helps me focus on talking to God.
