BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) is a parachurch Bible study ministry with local study groups all over the world. BSF has long been considered by many to be solid and biblical, but over the last several years a number of red flags have been raised. Lara Swanson saw many of those red flags, which led to her leaving her position with BSF. Tonight, she’s here to share her story with you.

On the surface, prayer seems so simple- just talk to God. But when it’s time to actually do it, there can be a million questions. And those questions are nothing to be ashamed of. The disciples lived with Jesus. Heard Him pray. Watched Him pray. And they still had to ask Him, “Lord, teach us to pray.” In part 2 of our 2 part series on prayer, we talk about praying Scripture, and practical tips for your own prayer time, as well as leading others in prayer.

The disciples lived with Jesus. Heard Him pray. Watched Him pray. And they still had to ask Him, “Lord, teach us to pray.” In part 1 of our 2 part series on prayer, we talk about unbiblical attitudes and perspectives on prayer, and how we can pray biblically instead.
