Episode 33: Prayer in Our Daily Lives with Special Guest Kim Heidinger

Have you ever wondered, what exactly is prayer?  Is it something we just do before a meal or at bedtime, maybe once a week in church, or is there more to it than that?  Is God listening, does He even hear me when I pray?  Today, Emily Olson and guest Kim Heidinger share from personal experience on how they have wrestled through these same questions and how God has met them in the middle of it all!
