Ep. 375: Three Different Ways To Pray →
In this Friday episode of *Guided by Faith*, Jay wraps up the week on prayer with practical guidance for teens and young adults on how to make prayer a meaningful part of daily life. Drawing from Romans 8:2627, Jay shares three helpful methods: the ACTS model (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication), Look UpLook InLook Out, and simply talking to God conversationally. Each method encourages listeners to focus on God, examine their hearts, and pray for the world around them, all while trusting that the Holy Spirit intercedes and Jesus advocates on their behalf. This episode equips young believers to deepen their prayer life, grow in intimacy with God, and approach prayer with confidence, creativity, and authenticity.

Ep. 374: Should We Pray to Saints? →
In this thoughtful and biblical episode of Guided by Faith, Jay tackles a common and often confusing question: should Christians pray to saints? Grounded in Romans 8 and the broader teaching of Scripture, Jay explains why the Bible never instructs believers to pray to deceased saints and instead emphasizes the incredible gift of direct access to God through Jesus Christ. Listeners will learn what the Bible really means by the word saint, why every believer is called a saint through faith in Christ, and how the Holy Spirit and Jesus Himself already intercede on our behalf. This episode encourages Christians to pray confidently to their Heavenly Father, trusting the perfect access they already have through Christ.

This episode encourages listeners to pray authentically, remember who they are talking to, and approach God with both intimacy and awe. If you want a deeper, more meaningful prayer life rooted in Jesus example, this episode offers a clear and encouraging guide.
