*You deserve a relationship with God that feels natural, not forced.*
Maybe you're new to Charleston and looking for a church home. Perhaps you've never stepped into a church before. Or maybe church once hurt you, and you've kept your distance. Wherever you are in your faith journey, this message is for you.
Pastor Saz gets real about prayer—stripping away the religious performance and revealing what authentic connection with God actually looks like. If you've ever felt like prayer was just checking a box, or that you weren't "good enough" to talk to God, this message will change everything.
*Here's your roadmap to a prayer life that actually works:*
*1. Prayer Is Built Into Your DNA* (2:38)
Even during COVID, prayer emoji use jumped 50% because something in us knows we need more than this world offers. You were designed to connect with your Creator—that longing you feel is real and valid.
*2. Upgrade From Rotary Phone to AirPods* (7:41)
Stop treating prayer like that old landline you only used once a week. God wants 24/7 access to your life—texting Him throughout your day, getting His input in real-time conversations, staying connected constantly.
*3. You Don't Have to Fix Yourself First* (12:18)
Don't "get fit before going to the gym" or "get holy before praying." God doesn't need your perfection—He just wants your presence. Come as you are, mess and all.
*4. There's No "Right Way" to Pray* (14:06)
Forget fancy religious language. Prayer is simply conversation. God isn't grading your vocabulary or timing your prayers. Just talk to Him like you'd talk to someone who loves you unconditionally.
*5. Turn Down Other Voices* (18:00)
We're the most connected generation ever, yet the loneliest. If you want to hear God's voice, start by reducing the noise from endless scrolling and notifications. Be present where you are.
*6. Who Is God to You?* (19:27)
Your view of God shapes how you pray. Is He your boss, teacher, or healer? Jesus invites you to know Him as Father—someone who delights in hearing from you, not a taskmaster demanding perfection.
*7. Start With "Father"* (25:10)
Jesus taught His followers to pray "Our Father"—revolutionary for people who'd been told God was distant and unapproachable. Kids don't hesitate to ask their dad for what they need. Neither should you.
*8. You're Invited Into Relationship* (30:59)
This isn't about religion or ritual. God genuinely wants to talk with you, help you navigate decisions, and be part of your everyday life. You're His child, and He loves you deeply—no matter what you've done.
*Ready to start fresh?* Join Courageous Church as they explore prayer over the next five weeks. Whether you're completely new to faith or returning after years away, you'll find a community that welcomes your questions and celebrates your journey.
You don't need all the answers. You just need to start talking.
