When Prayer Becomes More Than a Habit
In a world where prayer can easily become routine or rushed, this episode of Honest Christian Conversations invites us to slow down and rediscover prayer as a living, relational connection with God. In this conversation, I’m joined by Amy Lykosh, a passionate advocate for intercessory prayer, as we explore how prayer extends beyond personal requests to every area of life.
Amy shares how prayer has shaped her upbringing, her business work, and her family life as a mother of five boys. We talk honestly about unanswered prayers, processing disappointment, and learning to trust God’s goodness even when outcomes don’t align with expectations. Throughout the episode, prayer is reframed not as a checklist item but as a powerful source of connection, healing, and community support.

Wife. Mother of five. Podcaster. Fiction Novelist
Ana is the host of the Honest Christian Conversations podcast and a prodigal saved by God’s unending grace.
She grew up in a legalistic Christian home where asking questions often felt wrong. In her early twenties, overwhelmed by confusion and hurt, she walked away from her faith. Yet even then, God’s love never stopped pursuing her. At thirty years old—and after a painful second divorce—He brought her back to himself, and she has never looked back.
As Ana returned to Christ, she began rebuilding her faith from the ground up and asked the questions she once feared to ask. Along that journey, she discovered inconsistencies, misplaced teachings, and even lies woven into the Christianity she grew up with. Instead of destroying her faith, this only deepened it. Out of that discovery, she founded Honest Christian Conversations. Ana's heart is to help others navigate the same tension she once lived with: wanting to know the real Jesus while sorting through the noise of deceptive teachings, spiritual manipulation, and “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”
Everything she creates flows from gratitude for the God who rescued her, restored her, and continues to shape her into who He intended her to be.
