03: Prayer: More than Meets the Ear

The Boundless Bible

What happens when prayers seem to fall on deaf ears? Join us on the Boundless Bible as David Shapiro, Javi Marquez, and Jason Holloway tackle this thought-provoking question, revealing why some prayers might not deliver the answers we hope for. We promise an engaging exploration that demystifies prayer, emphasizing it's not about changing God's mind but transforming ourselves. By drawing on personal experiences and deep reflections, we shed light on the common misconceptions that equate prayer to wish-making and how this leads to doubt and frustration. The episode offers a peek into Jewish traditions that view prayer as self-judgment and reflection, deepening our understanding of its true purpose.
The episode explores the complexities of prayer, addressing why some prayers seem answered while others do not. We discuss the misconception of prayer as a mere wishlist, the importance of self-reflection, and the role of free will in our spiritual practices.
