307: The Real “Lord’s Prayer”: John 17 Explained

Rohan Bell and Leonie Schlosser sit with Jesus’ “other” Lord’s Prayer—John 17—where He prays for His glory, His disciples’ protection, and the unity of every future believer. It’s intimate, tender, and utterly clarifying about who He is and who we are.

👀 What you’ll hear

The setting: Last Supper context—Jesus speaks plainly before the cross

Glory & mission: “Glorify Your Son… that the Son may glorify You”

In but not of: How to live fully in the world without being of it

Real unity: Father–Son oneness as the pattern for church-wide oneness

For us, too: “I pray… for those who will believe through their word”

Abide unlocked: Moving from Christian-ese to lived, relational trust
