Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Strategies for Living Radio, Dr. David McMillian and Lauren Leon McMillian explore the Our Father prayer in its original Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke. Drawing on the work of Neil Douglas-Klotz and the wisdom of ancient translations, they uncover how subtle shifts in meaning—such as “ripe” versus “unripe” fruit—transform familiar passages into powerful life lessons about growth, timing, and spiritual cultivation.Join us as we reflect on how translation differences shape our understanding of scripture, spirituality, and daily living. This conversation blends psychology, faith, and practical wisdom—encouraging us to see prayer not as rigid doctrine, but as a living guide for healthy, mindful, and Spirit-centered living.Original airdate: 8/22/2025
