46:08 Share

What comes to mind when you think of prayer? In this episode, Patricia Taylor, Alissa Molina, and Lindsy Wallace interview co-host Kayla Craig about her upcoming book, To Light Their Way: A Collection of Prayers & Liturgies for Parents), and expanding our idea of prayer. 

In this episode, we:

• Ask Kayla where her belief that prayer is real and powerful comes from, especially in light of how much prayer gets casually thrown around
• Consider how everything in our lives can be prayer
• Recount how a difficult experience led Kayla to examine what prayer meant to her and the transformation that happened in her understanding of prayer
• Discuss how she addresses tough and complex topics in a nuanced, inclusive way that makes space for all
• Ask what does persistence in prayer through our weariness and our wait look like

**Join us as we talk about Kayla’s journey of putting together her book. We can’t recommend it enough to anyone with children in their lives: caregivers, educators, and so on.  **
