Addison Bevere: How to Hear God, Pray & Break Your Phone Habit | Jesus People Podcast EP90 Get Addison Bevere’s Words with God: https://a.co/d/02Qn2GNZ Start your reset and get The Gratitude Reset book:  https://books.thejesuspeoplemovement.com In this powerful episode, Ryan Miller sits down with Addison Bevere to explore prayer, hearing God, spiritual sensitivity, and the surprising way our relationship with our phones can shape how we begin our day. Addison challenges the way many Christians think about prayer. Instead of treating prayer as a religious task or transaction, what if prayer is simply learning to live with God, listen to Him, and respond to what He is doing? The conversation goes deep into morning rhythms, silence, surrender, shame, spiritual formation, sleep, and the role of our attention in an increasingly distracted world. From the moment you wake up to the way you engage your phone, Addison offers a radically simple invitation: stop grasping for control and learn to be grasped by God. Key Highlights: - Why your first moments in the morning matter - Prayer as relationship rather than religious performance - How shame can interfere with intimacy with God - Delta, theta, and alpha brain states and spiritual sensitivity - Why Addison recommends not touching your phone first thing in the morning - The connection between attention, anxiety, and what we focus on - How the phone can become a source of constant distraction and control - Learning to listen to God instead of constantly trying to speak - How to turn your concerns into prayers - Why surrender is essential to hearing and responding to God - What to do when you wake up anxious in the middle of the night - Seeing sleep as an opportunity to surrender and trust God - Practical ways to create a healthier, more intentional morning with God - Moving from transactional prayer to authentic connection with God If you've ever struggled with prayer, felt guilty for not having a "perfect" quiet time, or wondered how to hear God's voice more clearly, this conversation will challenge the way you think about your relationship with God. The goal isn't to perform prayer better. It's to learn how to walk with God.
