Let’s get dirty and honest about our often voyeuristic relationship with the divine — and how prayer can profoundly disrupt and enrich our everyday lives. Explore the curious phenomena of spiritual fascination from a safe distance and the transformative power of genuine engagement with the divine through prayer.

Rev. Ryan Dunn uses relatable analogies, like our fascination with Shark Week, to elucidate our modern spiritual postures. We look into the biblical narrative of Exodus 20 to showcase how prayer can align us with God’s love and calls us into action. This episode also addresses the common queries about the efficacy of prayer in times of crisis and the oft-repeated phrase “thoughts and prayers.”
