Summary: <br> <a href="https://i0.wp.com/radicallychristian.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Studying-Prayer.jpg?ssl=1"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> In today’s Bible study we are studying prayer with Clint Glitner. Clint is one of the ministers at the Sioux Falls Church of Christ.<br> <br> <br> <br> Both new Christians and seasoned disciples struggle with prayer, but are often afraid to talk about this struggle. Few people are willing to say what the disciples of Jesus said, “Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1). Why do we struggle with prayer and how can we improve our prayer life?<br> <br> <br> <br> Another important aspect of prayer for Christians is praying in the name of Jesus. But do we know what it means to pray in Jesus’ name? Should we think of the words, “In Jesus’ name, amen” like a postage stamp we put on a letter? Does saying these words ensure God hears our prayer? Or, on the other hand, does forgetting these words ensure God does not hear our prayer?<br> <br> <br> <br> As always, the goal of this Bible study is to learn to love like Jesus.<br> <br> <br> <br> Links and Resources:<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> * Video: <a href="https://youtu.be/d-nmgVyw_Kw">Watch This Episode on YouTube</a><br> <br> <br> <br> * <a href="https://radicallychristian.com/3-ways-to-make-your-prayer-life-more-biblical/">Three Ways to Make Your Prayer Life More Biblical</a><br> <br> <br> <br> * Website: <a href="https://www.siouxfallschurchofchrist.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sioux Falls Church of Christ</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Transcript (Credit: Beth Tabor)<br> <br> <br> <br> Studying Prayer with Clint Giltner<br> <br> <br> <br> WES: Welcome to the Radically Christian Bible Study podcast. I’m your host, Wes McAdams. Here, we have one goal: Learn to love like Jesus. I want to begin today by reading 1 John 5:13‑15, which says, “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life. And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.”<br> <br> <br> <br> Today on our podcast, I’m actually going to be visiting with Clint Giltner, the preacher for the Sioux Falls Church of Christ, about prayer. He’s actually interviewing me about prayer because that’s a study that they’re about to do at their congregation, and he graciously allowed us to use this video and this audio for our podcast. So I hope that you enjoy this discussion and Bible study about prayer, and I hope, as always, it helps us all to learn to love like Jesus. <br> <br> <br> <br> CLINT: All right. Welcome to our podcast today on prayer, Wes. Thanks for joining us.<br> <br> <br> <br> WES: Well, thanks for having me, Brother.<br> <br> <br> <br> CLINT: It was great to meet you a few months ago when we had you up for a parenting workshop, and we’re in the midst of really getting ready for a month focused in on prayer, and I wanted you to be a part of that. And so when this podcast eventually drops, we’ll be, hopefully, right smack dab in the middle of that month, really hoping to encourage the congregation not only to be individually more prayerful, but as a congregation as a whole, that we are a body praying together, focused in on the things of God. And so we’re trying to provide some resources to everyone throughout that process, and podcasts are going to be one of those, and so I appreciate you joining to do this. <br> <br> <br> <br> Kind of the focus for us today is on an article you wrote back in 2016, which is ‑‑ it feels like forever ago that that happened,
