25 | Daniel in the Lions’ Den: Prayer Lessons and Faithful Courage

Before the den, there was a prayer room — Dare to Be Daniel

LISTEN HERE

Episode Summary:

In this Rooted + Rested episode, Lisa reflects on Daniel’s unwavering faith and how his courage was built long before he ever faced the lions. Discover what it means to pray without ceasing, stay faithful in the quiet moments, and find peace through daily communion with God.

Lisa also shares her own “prayer rooms” — from her lavender field to her front porch — and invites you to think about where you meet God most consistently. You’ll be reminded that prayer doesn’t change God’s mind, but it does align your heart with His will and invites you into what He’s already doing.

This episode also features a nostalgic moment from the classic song “Dare to Be a Daniel” and a reflection on how quiet faith builds courageous hearts.
