Episode notes

In this episode we jump back into our journey through Luke together, picking up in Luke 11:1-13. In this passage, Jesus continues to prepare His disciples for His departure by teaching his disciples how to pray. Together we discuss how this passage helps shape a proper orientation in prayer (who God is, and who we are), a proper orientation in persistence (keep asking, keep seeking, keep knocking), and a proper orientation in God’s response to our persistence (God is a good Father who gives good gifts). As His children, we must remember that we don't know it all and cannot see it all, but He can, and, through the Holy Spirit, we have the opportunity to follow after Him in everything.
