Living Inside the Lord’s Prayer

The Lord’s Prayer — the Our Father, as some traditions call it — is the most famous prayer in history. But what does it mean to pray it with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength? How do we live inside it?

In this Renovaré online course, author, teacher, and songwriter Carolyn Arends pulls back the veil of familiarity to throw fresh light on the brilliantly succinct prayer Jesus taught his disciples to pray. 

As the lessons unpack the prayer’s six petitions, you’ll discover the genius of Jesus in providing this road map for moving into maturity, clarity, and vision.

What’s In This Course and Who It’s For

Living Inside the Lord’s Prayer contains ten video lessons, each 10 – 15 minutes, along with a printable course guide (PDF), suggested practices, art and music selections, and reflection questions for going deeper. 

The course is self-paced and can be accessed anytime. Take it individually, or use it with a small group or church.
