What if the most familiar prayer in history is also the most misunderstood?

In this powerful episode of Crosswalk Talk, we sit down with Brad Gray and Joel Edwards to discuss their stunning new documentary, The Lord’s Prayer. Filmed on location throughout the Holy Land, the project takes viewers on a cinematic pilgrimage into the historical, cultural, and spiritual depth of Jesus’ most famous teaching on prayer.

Though many Christians can recite the Lord’s Prayer from memory, Brad and Joel explain why familiarity may have hidden its deeper meaning. From the Hebrew understanding of “holy” (kadosh — set apart) to the profound responsibility of bearing God’s name in the world, this conversation reveals how the prayer serves not just as words to repeat, but as a blueprint for daily living.

Joel shares what it was like filming in sacred locations—some never before captured by cinema cameras—amid global tensions and logistical challenges. Brad unpacks how the prayer reshaped his own spiritual life and why he hopes believers will never go another day without intentionally praying it.
