James: Real Life. Real Faith | James 5:13-18

What if the greatest way to connect with God is the one we're using the least?
Lane Luttrell explores what it really means to pray—not the surface-level "I'll pray for you" we say in passing, but the kind of fervent, believing prayer that actually changes things. Drawing from James 5, he unpacks three kinds of prayer and challenges us to ask harder questions: Why aren't we praying more? What would it look like to truly believe God can do the impossible? And how do we keep praying when the answer hasn't come yet?
This message is for anyone wrestling with unanswered prayers, anyone who's forgotten how to ask God for help, and anyone ready to become a prayer warrior.
In this episode:
- The decline of daily prayer in America (and why it matters)
- Three kinds of prayer every believer should practice
- How to pray when you're doubting
- Building a sustainable prayer life
- Real stories of prayer warriors and what we can learn from them
Scripture: James 5:13-18, James 1:5-6, Mark 9:21-24
