In this message, Jared Reed challenges us to move beyond safe, predictable prayers and step into bold, confident communication with God. Prayer isn’t about sounding spiritual — it’s about trusting Him deeply. Learn how to pray with faith, honesty, and bold expectation, knowing that God always hears and answers according to His wisdom.
