Don't talk yourself out of praying — abiding, Jonah, and the McDonald's menu

A host urges listeners not to talk themselves out of kneeling to pray when God tugs: 'that's where it's at' — prayer isn't about faithful routines but direct contact. Another host connects it to Jesus' teaching to 'abide in me' (John 15): prayers get answered when you're abiding and asking his will. The McDonald's running joke returns ('the grouchy woman knows more about Jesus'), then a host reflects on rereading Jonah: the pagan sailors show a healthier fear of God than the disobedient prophet, and God sometimes uses outsiders better than insiders. A 'Raca' joke about the worship-night package deal closes the stretch.
