Season 2 Finale: Pray Without What?

by | Jun 6, 2018

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

– 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Episode Overview:

In the Season 2 Finale, Trillia and Isaac reflect upon God’s grace throughout another season of United? We Pray. They reflect upon 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 — “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” This verse becomes the summer, if not lifetime, homework for listeners of U?WP.

During this episode, Trillia and Isaac reflect on how prayer is an indispensable balm for wounds that are centuries old. They look back at past episodes, remembering that “racial reconciliation is a lifestyle, not an event.” Racial reconciliation is not a problem merely to be fixed and done away with; it’s an aim to love and enjoy one another and praise God for the different people he has made and united in Christ. Given these truths, “we will continue to pray until we’re face to face with God,” as Trillia reminded us, because there is always work to be done.

Join Trillia and Isaac as they encourage anyone pursuing racial reconciliation to endure, rejoice, and pray without ceasing.

  • United? We Pray

    United? We Pray is a ministry to help Christians pray and think about racial strife. We want to encourage Christians amid the strife to rely upon God in prayer. So our prayers can be informed, we strive to learn and write about race, racism and its effects, and theology. We aim to be biblical, beneficial, and clear in all our efforts. While we’re burdened for all racial strife, we focus on racial strife between Christians because of the unique privilege and stewardship God has given his people: to bear witness to Him and to love all people, especially one another (Gal. 6:10).
