Noah Herrin teaches from Luke 11 that prayer is a foundational habit for anyone who wants to grow more like Jesus. He points out that the disciples - who lived with Jesus - asked him to teach them to pray, which shows how central prayer was to Jesus' life and ministry. Herrin argues that prayer both moves God and reshapes our perspective: persistently asking opens doors and God gives good gifts, but sometimes his answers teach us deeper wisdom. He closes with practical encouragements (persistent boldness, seeing God as a good Father) and a simple habit to begin: the 'one-minute prayer' - 60 seconds of talking to God after calendar items to include him in your day.
“I watched this with my own eyes who came in with a walking boot and a broken foot who was prayed over and instantly healed.” · Noah Herrin
Take it with you
Make prayer a daily habit by inviting God into the rhythm of your day (try the 'one-minute prayer' after scheduled events). Practice persistent, bold asking but trust God's goodness when answers differ from your expectations. Prioritize relationship with the Father - you'll not only get answers or perspective, you'll get God.

Holy Habits - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin argues that a single encounter with Jesus can set someone free, but lasting transformation comes through intentionally formed 'holy habits.' He distinguishes shallow theologies (a 'get out of jail free' faith or selective obedience) from a theology that pursues kingdom transformation and insists there are no accidental saints. Herrin uses Galatians 6 to show that where we 'sow' - i.e., the habits we invest in - determines our fruit, and he urges Christians to train (not just try) to become like Christ.
Holy Habits Finale - Way Church
This was the finale of Way Church's "Holy Habits" series featuring three short, personal talks from emerging leaders. Jake Still preached on the foundational habit of simply showing up for the local church, sharing his story of recovery and restoration and the life-change that came when he decided to keep showing up.
The Truth About Church - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches that the local church is central to the Christian life and that misunderstanding or abandoning it plays into the devil's hands. Using Acts 2:42-47 as his guide, he identifies four things the early church was devoted to: the apostles' teaching (Scripture), fellowship (corporate gathering), breaking bread (small groups/house fellowship), and prayer.
