About this listen

In this episode, we continue through Matthew 6 as Jesus moves from giving to praying. We uncover the "3 Keys to Answered Prayers"—and why trying to sound like a "Shakespearean Monk" isn't one of them.

We break down the Lord's Prayer not just as a recitation, but as a model of boldness: asking the King to fulfill His promises. We also tackle the hard truth about a "Dead Heart" using the Dead Sea analogy (if you have no outlet for forgiveness, you become stagnant), and why keeping some parts of your walk with God—like fasting—completely private is essential for a healthy faith.

Key Topics Covered:

Authenticity: Your heartfelt private prayers weigh more than flowery public speeches.

3 Keys to Answered Prayers:

Focus on God’s approval, not man’s applause.

Just ask—He already knows what you need!

Ask for what the Father wants, and you’ll always get it.

The Dead Heart: Why refusing to forgive proves a lack of spiritual life (The Dead Sea effect).

Private Faith: There is a fine line between asking for prayer and asking for attention. Keep some things holy between you and God.

Scripture References:

Matthew 6:5-18 (Prayer and Fasting)
