I Misunderstood This Prayer Verse for Years

from Faith + Focus Podcast with Kelly L. Gabel · host Kelly L Gabel

This week I took a closer look at Matthew 18:19–20 — the verse about “where two or three are gathered” — and realized I may have misunderstood what it actually means.It’s a passage I’ve heard quoted my entire life, especially in conversations about prayer. But when I finally read the full context, it shifted how I understand what Jesus was really saying.For a long time, this verse quietly raised questions for me. Not enough to send me digging deeper, but enough that it sat in the back of my mind.So this week, I decided to slow down and really look at it.In this Quick Focus conversation, I’m sharing what I found — and how understanding the context changed the way I think about prayer, agreement, and what this verse is actually pointing to.If you’ve ever wondered why some Bible verses feel clear on the surface but confusing when you think about them more deeply… you’re not alone.Referenced in this episode📖 Phil Wickham Devotional – On Our Kneeshttps://amzn.to/4uhx4WE🎧 Watch the full episode for this monthhttps://youtu.be/rwguou4NuaMFaith & Focus – Quick FocusQuick Focus episodes are short reflections where we pause and look at one idea, verse, or question about faith and life as Christian business owners.Let me know in the comments:Have you ever come across a Bible verse that meant something different once you saw the full context?*Connect with me* ➡️ https://tsa.kellylgabel.com/profile/links*Buy me* ☕ ➡️ https://kellylgabel.com/buy-me-coffee*Check out my favorite resources* ➡️ https://tsa.kellylgabel.com/profile/my-favorite-tools#KelllyLGabel #ChristianBusinessStrategist #TechSavvyAcademy
