Words with God: Trading Boring, Empty Prayer for Real Connection with Best-Selling Author, Renowned Speaker, and COO of Messenger International, Addison Bevere, Ep. 125

The Built Different Podcast with Dr. Zach Clinton

Let’s face it. For most of us, prayer is a struggle. We know we should pray. Deep down, we have some sense that it would be good for us—that it would help us be more grounded, more connected to God. But in the busyness of our hurried lives, slowing down to pray can often feel like a cosmic waste of time. We begin asking questions such as:
-Do our prayers even matter?
-Why does it so often feel like there’s no one on the other end of the line?
-What, if anything, is truly happening when we pray?
-Are we having words with God or just words with ourselves?
In today’s episode and in his new book, Words with God, Addison Bevere invites you deeper into the tension of prayer—the struggles, the doubts, the answers—the divine wrestling of it all. In this fast-paced and fragmented world, you’ll discover how prayer is the only way to put it all back together. Throughout history, the people of God have been known as those who wrestle with him. There are no formulas. God doesn’t fit in our boxes. He can’t be pinned down. But he invites us to know him by contending with him. Authentically. Honestly. Here. Now.
