Listen "EP:22 Our Father – A Deeper Look at the Lord’s Prayer"
Episode Synopsis
We’ve all heard it before—on the field before a game, in a church pew, or memorized from childhood. But how often do we actually understand the Lord’s Prayer?In this episode, we slow things down to take a deep dive into the most well-known prayer in Scripture. Jesus gave us a framework not just for prayer, but for how to see God—how to approach Him, trust Him, and partner with Him in everyday life.We unpack the four powerful sections of Matthew 6:9–13:Our Father in Heaven – What does it mean to see God as Abba, our loving Father?Hallowed Be Your Name – What happens when we worshipfully enjoy God’s presence instead of treating Him like a vending machine?Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be Done – How can our prayers truly make a difference in the world around us?Daily Bread, Forgiveness, & Deliverance – Why prayer is not just asking, but aligning.We also explore how false images of God—like thinking of Him as an angry judge or distant deity—can hinder our relationship with Him. This episode reminds us that prayer isn’t just something we do in desperation; it’s a way to delight in a Father who’s closer than the air we breathe.If you’ve ever felt like prayer was confusing or mechanical, this one’s for you. There’s a moment at the end where we open up a live conversation about what this prayer means for the guys in our group—don’t miss it.Let this message encourage you to pray with fresh perspective and boldness. Because the way we see God changes everything.Visit ironphoenix.org to join the movement and support what God is doing in San Diego.
