In this episode, Perry and Pastor Dave unpack Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6:1–15 and discuss the subtle danger of religious performance. Why do Christians crave recognition? What is the difference between genuine devotion and spiritual showmanship? Why does Jesus repeatedly point believers toward their Father? And what does the Lord's Prayer reveal about the heart of Christian prayer? This conversation explores motive, identity, prayer, forgiveness, approval, and the freedom that comes from living before an audience of One. Jesus is not impressed by religious performance. He delights in His children coming to Him as their Father.
