running in the opposite direction of the lie doesn't necessarily deliver you to your father's house of truth.

Welcome to today's conversations and this is Lisa, but this is obviously not John. This is not John.

I guess I'm like kind of like a part of John. You definitely are. Yeah. You definitely are. This is our first

next session. John, son, Addison Bevere. And I am so excited that he's going to be joining me today because we're going to be talking about some things that I know each and every one of you are going to want to learn more about.

But before we dive into that, I want to share how conversations is actually part of a large network. It is including, let's talk about it with sons and daughters. We've got at home with the

Beverez, which you possibly already seen Addison on and the Godmother and then of course conversations, which is what we're doing right now. And if you haven't already, we love it when you rate review, subscribe to the show.

We want to hear from you. You can ask questions, give us some feedback, give us some of your insights or talk about things you wish. We would talk about more on the podcast. And if you do, we just might read it.

I'm going to read today. Somebody was like, I believe you, a meal burgos. I don't even know if that's correct, Addison. I'm just going to go with.

Listen, you say it with confidence. That's all you say with confidence. Okay. This is what they said. This watching from the Philippines. I can't even tell you how happy that makes my heart. They watched.

And now they are a subscriber. Thank you for sharing such wonderful wisdom. So talking about wonderful, wonderful wisdom, the alliteration.

Yes. Yes. Wonderful wisdom words words with you know, I was going to do that. Didn't you? I had a feeling you were going to do. What? What is this? Words with God? And why? Yeah.

Does this matter? Because I don't know if you guys know this Addison wrote a book called Saints becoming more than Christians. That was his first offering, but it has actually been a work. This new book that you've worked on for two years.

Yeah, over two years way personal. Yeah. And tell us about this book coming out. It's coming out one week. Yeah. Well, one week from the day that the drops they can preorder now though.

I can. They can wherever books are sold, but words with God trading boring empty prayer for real connection. And who doesn't want to do that?

Who doesn't want to trade boring empty prayer for real connection? I think prayer is one of those things that people are terrified of being honest about. Like if they're struggling in prayer, they can't be honest about it.

Because otherwise they're judged or they're considered like you're you're bad Christian or you're not a real Christian or you're not really following Jesus. You don't have a mature spiritual life.

And I think one of the challenges that we have with prayers actually letting prayer out of the closet and into our everyday lives. Wow.

And and so when when you look at this book, what makes it unique words with God trading boring empty prayer for real connection is I'm not offering a lot of formulas for the closet.

10 steps. No, it's praying your closet. No, it's something like that. Now there are things in this book that are very practical practices that we can bring into the closet 100%

But more than that, this book is about how do we take prayer out of the closet and into our everyday lives?

Because that's where we do business with God. That's where we interact with other people. That's where we engage purpose. And we need the prayer closet.

And I'm not saying that that isn't a holy and necessary place. Yeah. But the purpose of the closet is to extend into our everyday lives. Yeah.
