About the podcast

How long is each prayer?

268 of 271 are under a minute; a typical one is 33 sec, the longest 1 min 15 sec. Long enough to pray, short enough for the minute before a meeting or the last minute before sleep.

Which Bible does it quote?

The Berean Standard Bible (BSB), word for word. An episode drawn from a passage carries that verse in its notes (a few are the traditional prayers, like the Lord’s Prayer), and every episode links to its page here, where you can read the prayer while it is read to you.

How often are new prayers added?

139 new prayers in the last 30 days. Follow the show once and each new one arrives in your podcast app by itself.
