Episode Synopsis

"You feel it. A longing. A restlessness. A hunger for something more. What if that ache isn’t random? What if it’s an invitation?"Welcome to The Ache, a sermon series dedicated to exploring the deep longings of the heart and discovering how prayer is the key to fulfillment. In Week 2: A Liminal Ache, we explore the difference between prayer as performance and prayer as presence.Jesus confronted fake prayer—the kind designed for attention or spoken with mindless repetition. The Greek word for "hypocrite" (hupokritēs) literally means "actor" or "stage player." But true prayer isn’t a performance; it’s found in the secret place where it's just you and God. Jesus didn’t leave us guessing; He gave us a powerful model: the Lord’s Prayer—a simple, profound template for true connection.This week, respond by praying the Lord’s Prayer slowly and intentionally each morning, allowing each word to echo in your heart.Subscribe now to learn how to move from performance to presence in your prayer life and discover how answering The Ache can transform your soul.Are you ready to step off the stage and into the secret place?For more information or to get connected, visit us at  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rcnb.org
