The Gospels, Jesus' Prayers, & Connecting with God with Blair Linne

Elizabeth Woodson is joined by Blair Linne to take a closer look at Jesus’ prayer in John 17 and see what it teaches us about the relationship that is available to us with God through Jesus.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

• Where in The Gospels do we see Jesus interact or speak with or about God The Father?
• What do these interactions show us about how Jesus views God the Father and how he believes God the Father views him? 
• What do they show us about what we need to believe about God the Father and how we should interact with Him?
• In what way do you think our earthly relationships make it harder to embrace the loving relationship we have with God the Father through Jesus?
• Can you share a bit about your journey and how a right view of God helped you find healing in your relationship with your earthly father?
• What encouragement would you provide to those struggling to fully embrace God because of a broken relationship with their earthly father?
• How do Jesus' interactions with his Father point us to the gospel?
