š„ The Door That Opened: What Happens When Men Truly Pray
Brothers,
Over the last several weeks, a handful of us (5ā7 men at any given time) have been walking through a structured, eight-week journey into prayer, built around Scripture, spiritual habits, reflection, and the simple desire to truly know God, not just know about Him.
I need to share this with all of you because what has happened in my life and inside this circle of men has been nothing short of transformative.
š„ What Changed For Me Personally
For the first time in my life, I feel like I actually understand what it means to converse with the Creator of the Universe. Not recite words. Not send up quick requests when life gets messy. But actually speak, and listen, to the God who made me (isnāt it CRAZY that we can do this?)
It feels like a doorway that used to be cracked open has now been blown off the hinges.
I learned that prayer isnāt an add-on to faith, it is the relationship. Once that clicked, everything changed. It gave purpose, direction, and intimacy to my time with God. I no longer pray only āwhen I feel like it.ā Iām learning to build a relationship through rhythm and discipline focused on Scripture, silence, confession, and praise.
Iāve been overwhelmed by a new desire to praise. I never realized how central adoration is to understanding Godās nature. And, in one of those moments only God can orchestrate, I recently met a Christian law professor who actually teaches about praise in the vocation of law. Our conversation showed me the deep connection between praising God and understanding His will for your life. Connecting those dots flipped a switch in me.
My relationship with God feelsā¦ real now. And because prayer has begun to shape me from the inside, I can finally start leading my family spiritually in the way I never understood before. My conversations with God now spill over into my conversations with my wife, my kids, and even my work. Prayer is changing the way I carry myself. Not perfectly, but honestly.
š„ What Changed Within Our Group
Our tribe has always been strong. Open, consistent, and unified. But something deeper is happening during this prayer series.
Because prayer is so personal, so vulnerable, so foundational to faith, sharing our experiences has matured every single one of us. We learn from each manās struggles. We sharpen each otherās perspectives. We see spiritual growth up close.
This is what real community looks like.
š„ What I Want You to Hear
Whether youāve been hesitant, busy, or unsure where to startā¦
Start praying. Share where youāre struggling. Let this community walk that out with you.
You do NOT need to be an expert. You donāt need perfect habits. You donāt even need confidence.
You just need willingness.
And if you choose to lean inā¦truly lean inā¦I believe God will meet you the same way He has met all of us.
**This Series Isnāt About Tim Keller. Itās About Training Your Soul.**
Yes, the framework is inspired by Kellerās structure. But the heart of the series is simple:
- Build daily habits of talking with God
- Meditate on Scripture
- Practice silence
- Confess honestly
- Praise intentionally
- Reflect deeply
- Grow together
And this only works when you give yourself to the process:
Journaling. Reflection. Habit formation. Showing up. Opening your heart.
