Matt’s message is rooted in Luke 11.1-13. What places help you to connect with God through prayer? This lesson from Jesus on prayer is often read as a call to persistence in prayer. Yet, the word in verse 8 translated as “persistence” actually means “shameless.” Who is shameless in this story? What if the lesson from Jesus is less about being persistent or shameless and actually an invitation to remember that God meets our feelings of shame with radical welcome and gracious love?
