Episode 7: Grateful prayer
As we’ve seen, Paul begins his letter to the Colossians with a greeting that both follows and yet meaningfully transforms the conventions of his day.

Here, we’ll consider what Paul himself says about his prayer, and consider what we might learn from this for our own prayer lives.
