Why We Avoid Prayer - and How To Return Without Guilt

from The Possibility Mom Podcast · host Lisa Canning

Why is prayer often the first thing we avoid—especially when we need it most? In this episode, I’m joined by Rose Folsom for a gentle, honest conversation about the quiet resistance many of us feel toward prayer, and how to begin again without shame or perfectionism. Drawing on the wisdom of Jacques Philippe, we explore why prayer feels hard, how guilt keeps us stuck, and what faithful, realistic prayer looks like in real life. This episode is an invitation to return to God simply, patiently, and with trust—right where you are.
