In this week&apos;s lectionary text, the disciples ask Jesus to teach them to pray. Jesus delivers. The result? The incredible Lord&apos;s Prayer.Adam, Kiri and Mason ask Lars:<ul><li>What is prayer, anyway? </li><li>Are we commanded to pray? </li><li>Do &quot;muscle memory&quot; prayers like the Lord&apos;s Prayer or Come, Lord Jesus function the same as original prayers?</li></ul>You&apos;ll hear Lars explain the purpose of prayer, how badly God wants us to pray, and how God prays on our behalf in this week&apos;s conversation.  Interested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?

Storing Up Treasures | Luke 12:13-21 with Dr. Chris Croghan & Lars Olson

Three millennials sit down with Lutheran theologians to understand how Scripture is working in our lives. God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, sin, faith, forgiveness, Luther, and more are on the table as Mason Van Essen, Kiri Haugen, and Adam Guthmiller discuss each week's upcoming lectionary Bible passage with Luther House of Study's theologians to hear the context in and around Scripture before it's preached in church.
