Living in the Gap: An Introduction to Christian Spiritual Formation

Where Prayer Becomes Real: Honest, Messy, Life‑Changing Prayer

In Episode 1 we sit down with Kyle Strobel to unpack what real Christian spiritual formation looks like: prayer that’s honest, shaped by the Lord’s Prayer, and rooted in the gospel. We talk about letting go of performance, learning to bring our whole messy selves to God, and why intercession and presence matter more than quick techniques. Kyle’s book "Where Prayer Becomes Real" is the backbone of the conversation, and if you want to go deeper there’s a prayer cohort you could connect to; simply email us to get more info. No pressure — just an invite to do this together. Come as you are.
