What if you've been praying the Lord's Prayer your entire life... but never stopped to consider what Jesus actually meant?
In this episode of The Valiant Forge, I sit down with Dr. David Chotka—pastor, author, and founder of Spirit-Equip Ministries—for a conversation that begins with an extraordinary testimony and leads into a powerful discussion about prayer, spiritual warfare, distraction, and intimacy with God.
Growing up surrounded by darkness, Dr. Chotka shares the remarkable story of how he came to faith in Jesus Christ and how that experience launched a lifetime of studying Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and prayer. But this isn't just a conversation about the supernatural. It's about becoming the kind of man who walks closely with Christ every day.
We discuss:
• Dr. Chotka's unforge
ttable testimony of coming to faith
• Jesus' authority over darkness and spiritual warfare
• The distractions that pull Christian men away from God's purpose
• Why spiritual disciplines are essential for growth
• Learning to develop a meaningful prayer life
• The question that changed the way Mark thinks about the Lord's Prayer
This conversation ends by introducing a question that deserves an episode of its own:
Have you ever studied what Jesus meant when He taught us to pray, "Our Father"?
That's exactly where we'll pick up in Part 2.
If this episode encouraged you, consider sharing it with another man who wants to grow deeper in his walk with Christ.
