      <title>The Prayer of Unity: Learning to Live in Oneness</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of Chai Beauty, I share my reflections on Session Seven of the When You Pray Bible study, which focuses on unity—or oneness—in prayer. Unity is one of the hardest lessons to live out because it often requires sacrifice, pain, and patience. Drawing from scripture and personal experiences, I explore what it means to practice oneness with those around us, even when relationships feel complicated or strained.</p><p>I talk about the privilege of walking alongside others in their struggles, why forgiveness and feedback are so essential, and how God calls us to repair, restore, and live in harmony whenever possible.</p><p>We’ll explore:</p><p>Why unity requires sacrifice and even pain</p><p>The privilege of restoring and walking with others</p><p>Forgiveness, reconciliation, and harmony in relationships</p><p>Why friendships and family require slower, more careful conversations</p><p>How to balance strong boundaries with unconditional love</p><p>Redefining community and oneness in different seasons</p><p>💬 Question for You:<br />How are you actively participating with God to bring unity and oneness into your relationships?</p>

I share how this practice shifted my perspective from constantly petitioning God to simply honoring Him for who He is—provisional, personal, a giver, and good.

Through scripture like Psalm 139 and Philippians 4, I unpack what it means to confess not just what God has done, but who He is at His core. From worshipping in sorrow to recognizing the Holy Spirit’s quiet guidance, I talk about the ways admiration builds endurance, deepens intimacy, and helps us use the tools God has already given us.

💬 Question for You:
When was the last time your prayer wasn’t about asking God for something, but just admiring Him for who He is?</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>In this episode of Chai Beauty, we explore Session Three of the When You Pray Bible study, taught by Jackie Hill Perry, which focuses on the prayer of petition and thanksgiving. I reflect on what it means to bring a formal request before God, knowing we never come alone—the Holy Spirit intercedes for us—and how gratitude transforms the way we present our needs.

We talk about letting our petitions glorify God, trusting His sovereign nature, and relying on His wisdom, counsel, and power when life feels limited by our perspective. I share why our “micro-movements” matter, how the Lord of Hosts fights for us, and how God’s timelessness changes the way we view waiting. This episode is an encouragement to hand over your struggles, walk in His guidance, and remember the goodness of God in every season.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>In this episode, I reflect on Session Two of the When You Pray Bible study, which takes a deep look at the Lord’s Prayer—beginning and end—and what it means for God to truly be the Alpha and Omega in our lives. I explore the four ways Scripture describes who God is, ask hard questions about whether I really believe His promises, and share how Psalm 119:33–40 challenges me to live a life of obedience, humility, and faith.

We talk about what it means to be teachable, to listen to the Holy Spirit, and to see God as both personal and good—even when life doesn’t go the way we planned. From living a quiet life, to minding your own business, to working with your hands, I unpack the daily disciplines that help keep our hearts aligned with Him.

This is a conversation about seeing God’s goodness in every season, letting Him redefine your understanding of provision, and applying these truths in a way that transforms your week.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>In this episode, I share how my understanding of prayer has shifted through the When You Pray Bible study. What started as spontaneous conversations with God became a deeper practice of gratitude, surrender, and trust. I talk about laying burdens at the altar, learning to leave them there, and why vulnerability in prayer matters—even when it feels uncomfortable to share publicly.
We’ll walk through Luke 11’s prayer, the lessons I’ve learned about consistency and obedience, and how prayer not only changes us, but also strengthens our love for others. This is a candid, faith-filled conversation about letting God meet you in your frustration, endurance, and growth.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>In this heartfelt kickoff to Season 4, I share my journey through the Bible study When You Pray—a book I started in 2022, put down, and didn’t finish until 2025. Along the way, I discovered not only new ways to pray, but also the toxic traits and hidden habits God was asking me to surrender. From over-functioning in relationships to learning how to receive love without “earning” it, I open up about the challenges, breakthroughs, and faith lessons that shaped me.
This episode isn’t just about prayer—it’s about vulnerability, obedience, and letting God mold your heart. I invite you to reflect on your own toxic traits, growth moves, and prayer life, and to join me in asking: What are you praying for this season?
