This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Anna Walker-Roberts — Bible teacher, Adult Ministries Director at Calvary Chapel Delaware County, writer, mom of two, and one of Kerstin’s closest friends — for a deep conversation about prayer, suffering, healing, and what it really means to live in relationship with God.

Anna explains why prayer is not a task to check off, but an ongoing conversation with the Lord that shapes your soul more than your circumstances. She opens up about childhood illness, chronic health struggles, pregnancy, motherhood, anxiety, and how those seasons became places where God met her most deeply. The conversation also tackles women in ministry, the role of suffering in spiritual growth, and why prayer should include honesty, creativity, anger, curiosity, and surrender.

Then it gets practical: praying out loud, journaling prayers, fasting for spiritual clarity, walking while you pray, interceding for your family, and learning how to listen to God instead of only bringing Him requests. The through-line is clear: prayer is not about getting the perfect answer — it is about becoming more like Jesus.
