    Lacking Nothing - Secret Place

    In this episode, hosts Griff and Pastor Alexander DiMare sit down to discuss one of the most vital—and often neglected—aspects of the Christian walk: the private prayer life. But first, they kick things off with a classic Fun Snack: Sour Cream and Onion Pringles. From making the iconic Pringle "duck lips" to trading cafeteria snacks in school, the guys take a quick trip down memory lane before diving into the heavy stuff. We live in a culture driven by distraction, notifications, and constant performance. Because of this, it can be incredibly difficult to step away from the noise, put down the phone, and just sit in the quiet with God. Griff and Alex break down the concept of the "secret place" (the eremos), looking at how Jesus consistently withdrew from the crowds to recharge and connect with the Father. They also share their own personal rhythms and struggles, from dodging the temptation to sound "super spiritual" in public prayers, to finding those quiet morning moments on the porch with a cup of coffee alongside Breanna before the kids are awake. Whether your prayer time involves a structured list, journaling, or just sitting in silence, this episode will encourage you to stop performing and start simply abiding.  Chapter Breakdown:0:00 - Fun Snack of the Night: Sour Cream & Onion Pringles3:15 - The Challenge of the "Secret Place" in a Noisy World7:30 - Why Jesus Withdrew: Understanding the Eremos12:00 - Performative Prayer vs. Genuine Connection16:45 - Building a Practical Prayer Rhythm22:10 - The Power of Praying in Silence & Listening28:30 - What it Means to "Abide" in the Almighty Join the Conversation!Subscribe for more weekly episodes of Lacking Nothing!Let us know in the comments: What does your "secret place" look like, and are you Team Pringles or Team Cheetos?
