In this message Ash encourages us to develop a consistent, personal prayer life, likening it to digging a spiritual well. Just as digging a well requires hard work, effort and persistence to reach life-giving water, prayer requires intentionality and perseverance.

This message reminds us that prayer isn’t just something we do at church—it’s about real connection with the Father. The early church in Acts 2 didn’t treat prayer like a task, but a way of life. It wasn’t about getting results, it was about a relationship with God. Prayer is how we stay close to God, hear His voice, and walk with Him daily. Every believer is invited personally into that kind of connection.

Ash encourages us to live with open hands, just like the early church who shared what they had so no one was in need. It’s not just about giving—it’s about positioning ourselves to be part of God’s movement, living out our faith through real, everyday actions.

Paul talks about untying ourselves from false identities and stepping into a life of purpose, not for approval, but for impact.
