What if the most powerful faith is the faith no one sees? We walk through Matthew 6 and discover how Jesus redirects our spiritual life from the spotlight to the secret place, where giving, prayer, and fasting become intimate acts of love rather than public performances. Calling God Father isn’t a throwaway line; it’s a radical invitation to relationship that reshapes our motives, our speech, and our daily choices.

We unpack the Lord’s Prayer as a living framework instead of a rigid script—relationship, reverence, surrender, dependence, confession, and protection—each petition present tense, each one drawing our hearts into ongoing conversation with God. From there, we face hard questions about treasure and vision: where we store value, how we see reality, and which master we truly serve. You’ll hear how a healthy eye fills life with light, why we can’t split loyalty between God and money, and how generosity becomes joy when applause no longer sits on the throne.

Anxiety gets honest treatment too. Jesus points to birds and lilies as everyday billboards of the Father’s care, reminding us that worry cannot add an hour to life, but trust can restore focus. Seek first the kingdom and watch priorities reorder: less spiraling, more steady steps; fewer what-ifs, more prayerful yeses. Along the way, we share practical ways to practice hidden disciplines and cultivate a quiet strength that endures when life gets loud. If you’re hungry for a faith that is deep, simple, and free from performance, you’ll find clarity and courage here.

If this speaks to you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick rating or review—then tell us: which part of Matthew 6 are you practicing this week?

The Bible isn’t just an old book—it’s God’s story, and it’s still alive today. His Story takes you chapter by chapter through Scripture, combining simple readings of God’s Word with prayer for every listener and occasional reflections on what the passage means for our lives right now.

Whether you’re brand new to the Bible or have been reading it for years, this podcast is a space to slow down, hear God’s Word spoken, and be reminded that His story is also our story.
