Today’s conversation with Janet McHenry is the second episode in our “real talk about prayer” series. Today, we’re examining how we pray differently based on our personalities, and how understanding our praying personality can change how we talk to and how we listen for Jesus.
What if we can hear Him louder when we’re connecting with Him in ways that feel natural to us – in ways that line up with how He has created us? Janet shares four different praying personality types she finds in scripture that may help us to connect with God more naturally and more deeply. When we learn our praying personality, and meet with God from that understanding, we’ll grow in our connection and relationship with Him.
Friend, if you want to discover how to better connect with God based on how He created you, this episode is for you.

- How we struggle with prayer “comparison.”
- The truth that there is no one-size-fits-all way to pray.
- How we pray differently based on our personalities.

- How understanding our praying personality can change how we listen for Jesus.
