The Trellis Podcast

What if prayer isn't something we have to figure out on our own? And what changes when we realize that even in our weakness, the Holy Spirit is already praying on our behalf?In this episode of Ordinary Time, Will Odom, Stacey Tafao, and Erik Chandler continue their conversation on prayer by exploring the beautiful truth found in Romans 8: the Spirit intercedes for us, even when we don't have the words to pray. Together, they reflect on what it means to approach God as a loving Father, embrace our weakness rather than hide from it, and find peace in knowing that we are invited into a conversation God has already begun.Rather than striving to find the right words or carry the weight of life on our own, we are invited to rest in the assurance that we are fully known, deeply loved, and never left to pray alone. Even in our weakness, we can trust that the Spirit is at work, drawing us into a deeper relationship with the Father.

What does it really mean to pray without ceasing? And how do we respond when that invitation feels more like an impossible expectation?In this episode of Ordinary Time, Krista Elmore and Will Odom are joined by Devon Accardi for a conversation about what it looks like to cultivate a life of prayer in the midst of our everyday routines. Together, they explore the tension between striving to get prayer right and receiving it as an invitation to ongoing relationship with God. Through personal stories and practical encouragement, they consider how moments of silence, simple prayers, and time in Scripture can help us become more aware of God's presence throughout our days.Rather than another spiritual task to accomplish, this conversation invites us to bring what we have, however small or imperfect, and trust that God can grow a life of prayer as we simply begin.
