What if the reason prayer feels hard isn’t because you’re doing it wrong—but because you’re trying to do it like someone else? In this special episode, Chrys turns the microphone toward her co-host, Shellie Tomlinson, to talk about her newest book, Don’t Try to Pray Like Her. Shellie openly shares how she once struggled when talking to God, feeling unsure, inconsistent, and even discouraged. But through that struggle, God gently led her into a deeper, more personal connection with Him.
