Are you praying the right way? Have you stopped praying altogether? Many of us know the pain of unanswered prayer. We cried out for something, and it didn't happen the way we hoped. As a result, we gave up praying and believed the lie that God isn't listening. But what if all that was needed was changing our approach to prayer? Just like there are different approaches needed for different types of sports, there are different approaches for different types of prayers. In this episode of Conversations with John and Lisa Bevere, we explore the various types of prayer and how the right approach can lead to powerful results. Tune in to discover how to uncover the secret to effective prayer.

So how do you know if you are offended—and more importantly, what does the path to freedom look like? How do you go from being constantly weighed down by offense to traveling light? Tune in to this week's episode of Conversations with John and Lisa Bevere to discover how you can overcome the deadly trap of offense!
