Praying for Others' Spiritual Well-Being – How to Intercede Like Jesus

When we pray, most of us ask for situations to get better—healing, help, relief. Those prayers are natural, and they matter. But Jesus shows us a deeper way to intercede.

In John 17:6-19, He prays for His disciples to be strengthened spiritually, not just saved from difficulty.

In this episode, join Adam, David, Corina, and Christina as they explore what it means to pray like Jesus—to pray for others not just situationally, but spiritually.
