Neglected Prayer Practices That Could Save Your Prayer Life!

Do you feel stuck, dry, or disconnected in your prayer life—and don’t know why? In this episode of Remnant Radio, Joshua Lewis and Michael Rowntree sit down with Jeremy Linneman, pastor and author of Pour Out Your Heart: Discovering Joy, Strength, and Intimacy with God through Prayer, to uncover the forgotten prayer practices that the modern church has left behind—and why we desperately need to recover them.

Jeremy shares how his own church became a praying church, and how practices like lament, praying the Psalms, intercessory emotion, and even liturgical prayer have reshaped not only his community, but his own intimacy with God. We also explore how the Western church’s pursuit of positivity has stripped prayer of honesty, grief, and depth, leaving believers spiritually malnourished.

If your prayer life feels mechanical, emotionless, or shallow—this conversation could change everything.
