In this episode, Bill Leighty reflects on eighty-one years of prayer — the constant, informal kind woven into ordinary days rather than confined to ritual. He shares how he’s learned to live with prayers that go unanswered, why his devotion to Mary runs deeper than doctrine, and why he believes most men face a real fork in the road when their faith doesn’t deliver what they expected. The Editorial Team at The Encore Project found this one of the most reflective and honest conversations we’ve shared.
