Throwing Mountains
Welcome to the Throwing Mountains (formerly Empowered Manhood) podcast, where men rediscover courageous leadership. You'll be strengthened by the stories of God working in the lives of ordinary men today -- men who've become leaders in their spheres of influence by relying on God and following Jesus. You'll also gain a sharp focus on the biblical idea of masculine leadership which will help orient your own life as a man.

Why do you pray?
There are obvious, Sunday School answers to that question:
- God wants you to pray.
- Most people in the Bible prayed (e.g. David's 150 psalms are prayers).
- Jesus prayed and modeled that behavior to his disciples, even teaching them how to pray.
But why do you pray? Really?
It may be for the same reasons that Rocky prays in host Chris Bolinger's favorite Rocky film.
This week’s Bible passage: Luke 18:1-8
