Reflection Untamed Prayers with Chad Bird - Part 2
Untamed Prayers will take you out of your spiritual comfort zone. On this episode we’ll leave behind the boring, predictable prayers that so many Christians are stuck in and dive into ones full of praise, despair, joy, and lament.
Based on The Book of Psalms, these prayers cover all parts of life—the good times and the tough ones—and what better way to find the right words to say to God than the very prayers He gave us to pray?
But wait! There’s more! Chad Bird shows how these ancient prayers are connected to Jesus as you go through the Psalms. You'll discover that you're not just talking to God by yourself; Jesus is right there with you, praying alongside you.
This is part 2 of a conversation with Chad Bird about his new book Untamed Prayers. A conversation that will help you feel a closeness to God, freeing you to speak to the Father with complete honesty.
