Zac Poonen · Mar 29, 2026
Zac Poonen teaches on the danger of praying to oneself rather than to God, using the Pharisee and tax collector parable to illustrate how public prayer can become performance for human approval rather than genuine communion with God. He shares his own journey of repenting from praying in ways designed to impress others, and emphasizes the need for sincere, continuous self-judgment to achieve authentic prayer and worship that honors Jesus rather than seeking human recognition.
