Bringing Our True Selves to God in Prayer

In this episode, Chad and Robert continue the conversation around living in God’s presence by focusing on authenticity in prayer. Drawing from the Psalms, they remind us that God doesn’t ask us to clean ourselves up before coming to Him, He invites us to come as we are.
