A Masterclass from
Corey Russell
About This Masterclass
There’s more to prayer than finding the right words. Discover the joy of drawing near.
You sit down to pray, and your mind fills with everything else. You want to connect with God, but sometimes you find yourself repeating familiar words or wondering what to say. Somewhere beneath the distractions is a deeper longing: I want to know Him.
In Rediscovering Prayer, Corey Russell invites you to bring that longing to Jesus. Across four sessions, explore the prayer life of Jesus, Mary of Bethany’s devotion, and Scripture’s invitation to a living, honest relationship with God.
Discover how listening, surrender, and persistence can deepen your life with Him. Corey also explores praying in the Spirit, bringing grief into prayer, and intercession—the practice of praying for others in partnership with God’s heart.
Whether prayer feels unfamiliar, dry, or ready for fresh depth, come with your questions and your desire for more. Make room to be with the One you’re speaking to.

Frequently Asked Questions
I still pray, but it’s started to feel like a duty. Is this class for me?
Yes. You can bring that honesty with you. Corey’s teaching invites you to reconnect with the Person at the center of prayer and explore what it means to enjoy being with Him. The reflections offer space to notice what’s happening in your heart and begin nurturing a rhythm of connection.
I’m unfamiliar with tongues and travail. Can I still take this class?
Absolutely. You don’t need prior experience with either to begin. Corey explores these expressions within his teaching on intercession, while the class’s foundation is relationship with Jesus. You can engage through Scripture, listening, and honest prayer without feeling pressure to produce a particular emotion or experience.
