The heart of the resource

What this series helps you lead

Prayer 101 does not ask students to become polished public pray-ers. It lets them discover that prayer can sound like their own voice, hold their real questions, include silence, and carry the names of people they love.

Each gathering ends in a Prayer Lab, so students do more than learn about prayer. They try a practice in a low-pressure setting and leave with one way to continue during the week.
