How Prayer Helps You Get Stuff Done

In this longer episode, Dave Schmelzer reviews fascinating research about how prayer--and faith--can work so powerfully. He reviews a new book by Nir Eyal which explores the crucial role of injecting hope into our lives and how, that done, our bodies can thrive and we can develop what Eyal calls the "high agency" that can empower us to take meaningful action when life throws obstacles our way. Dave considers how this ties in with how churches look to develop strong faith in you and me and how this might inform things like prayers for healing. Mentioned on this podcast: Nir Eyal's book Beyond Belief: The Science-Backed Way to Stop Limiting Yourself and Achieve Breakthrough ResultsClick here to sign up to receive Dave's Thursday notes
