Is there a “right” way to pray? What do you say when your mind is blank—or when God feels distant?

Jesus didn’t leave us guessing. He gave us a model to follow.

In this episode, The Prayer Jesus Gave Us, Redeemed director Nate Dewberry takes a thoughtful journey through the Lord’s Prayer. Each phrase is more than familiar tradition; it’s an invitation into a deeper relationship with our Father.

Whether prayer currently feels routine, mysterious, or intimidating, this teaching will help you see prayer for what it truly is: a privilege, a conversation, and a lifeline.

Having compiled many of those lessons into a new book titled The Fight for Us, Rebekah and Gabe talk with Nate Dewberry this week about those and many other marriage topics, including how to keep minor differences of opinion from snowballing into big fights—and what husbands can do when they hear the dreaded “I just don’t think we’re connecting” from their wives.
