When We Pray

When We Pray is an eight-week expedition into the most well-known and memorized prayer of our Christian faith. Many have the words of this prayer etched in their mind, yet have never grasped the opportunities hidden within. Sometimes new invitations are discovered amid ancient practices.

In Matthew 6:9-13, commonly known as the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus is modeling a posture of prayer, inviting us to participate in the Kingdom of God.

Join us this fall as we absorb each line of this prayer through reflection, conversation, and practice. Let’s learn how to flourish as an expression of the Kingdom.

How It Works

We’ve designed the Fall Study to be both flexible and transformative – something you can engage with at your own pace, alongside others. Here’s how it will unfold.

Weekly Collections will be sent out every Monday. Each one includes a written reflection, a podcast episode, and optional resources for deeper exploration. All materials will also be available on this study webpage.
Read and reflect upon the weekly lesson. We offer a suggested schedule, but move at the rhythm that allows the prayer to take root in your life. Let the words breathe.
Journey together. This experience is meant to be shared. Consider inviting others into conversation – whether in person, on video, or through check-ins over text. Choose whatever format feels life-giving for your group.

Explore more resources on the Alive to God in Scripture approach, as well as some BibleProject videos about the Lord’s Prayer.

Please reach out with any questions on how to guide your group discussions.
