    Why Do You Pray? Checking Your Motives Before You Say a Word | How Do I Actually Pray, Pt. 1

Join us as Dallas unpacks Matthew 6:5-8 and examines this very personal question. This episode is a companion to Dallas's book, How Do I Actually Pray?, available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Books-A-Million.

    How to Speak to People Who Don't Believe What You Believe

    You don't have to be on YouTube long before you run into a street preacher yelling at strangers, and while the motive might be right, something about it doesn't sit well. So how are Christians actually supposed to respond to an unbelieving world? In this episode, Dallas walks through Titus 3 and the call to be gentle, non-contentious, and kind, remembering that we were once exactly where the people we're talking to are now.

    Psalm 121: Finding Peace When Life Is Changing

    Life is often called a journey, but what happens when the road ahead feels uncertain? In this episode, Dallas opens up about the fear that's come with a season of big transitions in his own life, including publishing his first book, and turns to Psalm 121, a Psalm of Ascent sung by travelers on their way to Jerusalem, to find peace. Together we walk through what it means that your guardian never sleeps, and how God has already been shielding you in ways you may not even realize.

    Stop Seeing People As Their Problems

    How often do you look at someone struggling and only see their problem — not the person? In just a few minutes, Dallas walks through Mark 5 and the woman with the issue of blood — a woman who was seen as her sickness for 12 years, until Jesus called her something different: daughter. That one word is the whole message. Your identity in Christ comes before your healing — not after. A quick word of encouragement for your morning. ☕ 📖 Mark 5:25–34🎙️ Host: Dallas Mora Connect with Geek Devotions: ⁠https://geekdevotions.com/⁠ or the Geek Devotions social media platforms...
