This four part mp3 download includes the following message titles:

• The Basics

Prayer is often the most misunderstood, misused, and dismissed part of the average Christian’s faith.  When you talk to God, do you feel like there’s a secret pattern or rules to follow?  Or that you have to pray for an ‘x’ amount of time, or else God won’t hear you?  In this program, guest teacher Ryan Ingram corrects those misconceptions.  Learn from Matthew chapter 6 how to ditch those scripted, hurried prayers and connect with God at a deeper level.

• Eight Words

Do your prayers feel stale, ineffective, or even a bit passionless? Is your quite time with God filled with constant distractions and random thoughts?  In this message Ryan Ingram reveals: you’re not alone! He’ll teach us from Psalm 46 how to ‘be still’ before God and share some tips to reignite the power of our prayers.

• Unanswered

Have you ever prayed a long time for something, and were disappointed or even a bit mad at God for not coming through?  Or were your desperate cries met with silence? Whether it’s for a sick relative, a personal crisis, or a global tragedy, learn how we can approach the complex and painful subject of unanswered prayers.

• Hearing God

Most people talk about prayer like it’s all about them speaking to God. Like, How long should I pray? What are the right words? But have you ever thought about what God might want to say to us?  Discover how listening to the still, small voice of God, is vital to deeper intimacy with Him.
