Filmed on location in the United States, England, and Scotland, the series takes viewers through a journey of self-reflection, discovery, and spiritual awakening as it unpacks the biblical principles and deep-seated theology embedded within the Lord's Prayer.

Over the course of six episodes, Dr. Sproul guides viewers through a comprehensive study of the Lord's Prayer, examining each verse in depth and providing a rich contextual understanding of its meaning and significance.

The first episode of the series sets the foundational tone for the remaining episodes by exploring the context of the Lord's Prayer within the larger narrative of the Bible. Dr. Sproul contextualizes the prayer within the Sermon on the Mount, helps viewers to connect the prayer's themes with Jesus' teachings surrounding forgiveness, the kingdom of God, and righteousness. The other episodes are more exegetical in tone, but the first episode establishes the context for everything that follows.

In episode four, the focus of the show shifts to the phrase "Give us this day our daily bread." Dr. Sproul explores the implications of this prayer, moving beyond the provision of physical sustenance to the spiritual meaning behind the words. He helps viewers to understand that the prayer for our daily bread is also a prayer for our daily needs, and that we can trust God to provide for us in all circumstances.

Episode five examines the phrase "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." Dr. Sproul provides an in-depth exploration of what forgiveness means, both for us and for those we have wronged. He explores the connection between forgiveness and repentance, and helps viewers understand the true power of the forgiveness offered through Jesus Christ.

Finally, in the final episode of the series, Dr. Sproul tackles the phrase "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil."
