When Jesus teaches us how to pray, He begins with two simple words:
 “Our Father.”

But those words carry far more meaning than we often realize.

In this episode of the Echoing Truth Podcast, we explore the opening phrase of the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9) and discuss the profound truth behind what it means to call God “Father.”

Jesus is not giving us a casual phrase—He is defining a relationship.

We discuss:

  •  Why Jesus had to correct how people were praying 
  •  How prayer had become distorted in His day—and still is today 
  •  Why prayer begins with God, not our needs 
  •  What it truly means to say “Our Father” 
  •  The difference between God as Creator and God as Father 
  •  The intimate and exclusive relationship believers have with God 
  •  How this truth unites the Church as one family 

We also address a critical question:

Can everyone call God Father?

This episode brings clarity to a culture filled with confusion about prayer, identity, and relationship with God.
