Shifting Prayer Paradigms | March 22, 2026

Prayer is suddenly everywhere online, from polished apps to celebrity invitations to “join us” for a few minutes a day. Are we witnessing a genuine renewal of prayer, or are we simply more aware of it because the internet puts constant spiritual marketing in our pocket?

If we can learn to approach God together, maybe we can begin to hunger for the unity Christ desires, and avoid the shallow cycle of spiritual excitement that fades when the “sheen wears off.”
