Make Prayer Your First Response

How do you approach prayer? Do you worry you are not doing it "correctly"? Do you see it as an obligation to check off a to-do list? Do you think of it as a last resort--a kind of supernatural SOS when you need help?

In this Pray First video Bible study, Pastor Chris Hodges shares proven ways to help you spend time in conversation with God--and enjoy every minute of it. You will gain tools to bring joy back into your time with God, explore prayers in the Bible, learn about fasting (an often overlooked discipline), and discover biblically grounded methods for making prayer a priority and not an afterthought.

Pray First is a revolutionary study for anyone who wants to experience a dynamic, intimate prayer life with God.
