This week, Alex and Noel dig deeper into Solomon’s prayer in 1 Kings 8, from what to do when two people are both convinced they’re right to why understanding our own hearts should make us more gracious toward others. They explore what Solomon’s repeated emphasis on God’s name and attributes reveals about who God is, and why praying Scripture can shape the way we think, feel, and worship. They also talk about written prayers, embodied worship, and the tension between authentic expression and our fear of emotionalism. Finally, Noel confesses to behaving like a hungry toddler, Alex worries that every sermon illustration is secretly about her, and they agree that trying to be God mostly makes everyone miserable.
