Lesson 2: November 5, 2025
Lesson 2: Dangerous Prayers challenge believers to choose courage over comfort. The "danger" lies in required personal change, hardship, or rewritten plans.
Key requests are:
Search Me: Invites God to reveal your true heart and motives.
Send Me: Declares availability for God's unknown calling, prioritizing His will over personal desires (Isaiah 6:8).
God's complete knowledge of us provides assurance, not condemnation.

This lesson challenges believers to move beyond safe, predictable prayers and embrace bold dependence on God. “Break Me” is the most demanding of the three Dangerous Prayers, calling for surrender of pride, comfort, and self-reliance.

Lesson 4: November 19, 2025
"Spiritual brokenness leads to personal growth and deeper reliance on God. Biblical figures like Joseph and Paul demonstrate how brokenness prepares individuals for breakthroughs and new purposes. Distinct from punishment, this brokenness is a transformative process of redirection. Only God, as the Creator, can effectively restore and align our spirits to be steadfast and enduring."

Dangerous Prayer - with Avery Finch
This course offers an overview of a Christian lecture by Instructor Avery Finch on the importance of prayer, focusing on the concept of “Dangerous Prayers” from Craig Groeschel’s book. The lecture establishes foundational principles of prayer, such as expressing dependence on God, seeking wisdom, and engaging in spiritual warfare, noting that prayer must be coupled with action (faith without works is dead). The core of the teaching is a three-part framework for transformative prayer: “Search me,” which invites God to reveal hidden sins and motives; “Break me,” which involves complete surrender of personal will to depend on God; and “Send me,” which is a commitment to service regardless of the cost. The discussion encourages believers to move beyond routine or memorized prayers toward intentional, heartfelt conversations that foster deeper spiritual growth and self-reflection.
