What Prayer Actually Does to a Man | Fr. Ken Geraci & John Heinen
About this episode
Prayer becomes one of two things: a religious obligation or a strategy to get results.
But it's not a productivity tool. It’s not emotional therapy. And it’s not a way to convince God of anything.
In this week’s Lent series, Fr. Ken Geraci and John Heinen cut through the purpose of prayer. If fasting makes room, prayer is where union happens. Prayer is where control dies, and where a man learns to be with God instead of trying to manage Him.
Fr. Ken breaks down why so many men stall in prayer: they measure success by feelings, clarity, or outcomes. But real prayer is about fidelity, surrender, and transformation. It is less about talking and more about consenting to be changed.
