The Real Lord's Prayer

1 June 2025

What if the prayer we usually call “The Lord’s Prayer” isn’t actually the one Jesus prayed for you?

What we call “The Lord’s Prayer” is actually the Model Prayer Jesus gave his disciples to teach them how to pray. John 17 is the prayer that the Lord himself prayed minutes before his betrayal.

In this episode, we explore the powerful moment in John 17:20-26 where Jesus prays not only for his disciples, but for all who would come to believe through them. That means us.

With clarity, warmth, and wisdom, Rev. Donn King unpacks what unity truly means in the heart of Christ—not uniformity or forced agreement, but a love-filled communion that mirrors the relationship between Jesus and the Father. Drawing insight from Scripture, modern research on persuasion and trust, and a dash of wit, this message challenges and encourages us to live in ways that make the gospel believable to a watching world.

Tune in for a fresh look at the real Lord’s Prayer and the unity Jesus still prays for today.
