Recorded August 2017, Will shares the heart behind the Prayer Room.

That's me above on the right - a big nerd! I learned quite a bit growing up a farm boy in rural Indiana. Here are a few lessons learned:

• If I drove the mower too close to the driveway I'd shoot rocks onto grandpa's truck.
• If I didn't close the gap in that fence (the one at a pig's eye-level) you can guess what got out and I had to chase to get back in the pen!
• Most friends don't appreciate the smell of farm animals, even if that's your family's livelihood!

To reiterate what I've shared before, there is a way things work. Certainly on the farm. Definitely in our life with Jesus, too. I've found a tool that helps me pray with more confidence, more scripture backing, and more authority. It's helped my intimacy with Jesus and stay centered. It's called The Daily Prayer.

Check out the Daily Prayer by Ransomed Heart Ministries. I encourage you to download or listen if you haven't already. See how these truths set you up for a more powerful and effective prayer life!

For those new Christ followers or even those who might be struggling to interpret scripture, the Prayer Room has a new tool! Thanks to a generous donation, we have a case of New Believer's Bibles available to gift.  

A great resource, this Bible is translated into the New Living Translation. It's easy to read and offers insets that help provide context around important spiritual formation themes. This includes insights into scripture and references to other places in the Bible that contain similar themes.

Included in the index are faith fundamentals. These are great for folks new to the faith. I've enjoyed a refresher and reminder myself. Feel free to borrow one if you'd like so you're familiar! This is a great tool we can use to both challenge and encourage.
