Podcasts about dangerous prayers

God didn't call us to safe, routine, predictable prayers—He calls us into bold, faith-filled, Dangerous Prayers that draw us closer to Him and align us with His will

In Isaiah 6, we see the prophet undone by God's holiness, cleansed by God's grace, and compelled to respond to God's mission. Christians are not just saved—we are sent. In this sermon, discover how encountering God's presence moves us from hesitation and fear to boldness and obedience.

Saul had everything—status, reputation, religious zeal. But on the road to Damascus, everything changed. Jesus interrupts Saul's mission and flips his world upside down, turning him from persecutor to preacher. In this message, we see how Jesus still meets people where they are, strips away false identities, and replaces them with the surpassing worth of knowing him. The question isn't whether Jesus will lead—it's whether we'll follow when he does.

In Matthew 6, Jesus teaches his disciples to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done. In this sermon, we explore the dangerous but transformative prayer: Lead me. We unpack what it means to truly let go of control and allow God to shape our lives around his holiness, his kingdom, and his will.

What does it mean to pray, “Break me”? When we pray “Break me,” we're not asking to be destroyed—we're asking to be released. Released from our past, from false identities, from misplaced security. Because the truth is: your most meaningful ministry will often rise from your deepest breaking. And in the hands of Jesus, nothing surrendered is wasted.

Has guilt, shame, or fear ever caused you to hide? But Psalm 139 ends with a bold and vulnerable prayer: “Search me, O God.” Pastor Adam unpacks how that prayer leads us out of hiding and into deeper freedom.

Send us a textWhat happens when our faith is truly put to the test? Daniel's story reveals the power of unwavering loyalty to God when faced with life-threatening consequences.When government officials couldn't find any dirt on Daniel despite searching for corruption or negligence, they targeted the only "weakness" they could find—his devotion to God. Manipulating King Darius into creating a decree that no one could pray to any god or human except the king himself for thirty days, they set a trap that would force Daniel to choose between compromising his faith or facing death in the lions' den.The remarkable thing about Daniel's response wasn't just his courage—it was his consistency. Without hesitation, he went home, opened his windows toward Jerusalem as was his custom, and prayed three times daily, giving thanks to God exactly as he had always done. He understood that spiritual compromise, like physical compromise, happens incrementally. Small concessions eventually erode our character in significant ways.This story challenges us to examine our own lives and the subtle compromises we make daily. What shapes our decisions, priorities, and identity? As John Piper notes, "Worship is valuing or treasuring God above all things"—and we can measure what we value most by how we spend our time and money. In a world constantly demanding our allegiance to countless things—success, approval, comfort, power—Daniel's example reminds us that only one throne is eternal.Are you living with eternity in view, or have you settled for the temporary? When life gets difficult, is prayer your first response or an afterthought? What does your daily life reveal about where your true loyalty lies? Daniel's unwavering faith not only saved his life but brought glory to God throughout a pagan kingdom. What might God do through your unwavering faith today?

Scripture correction: 1 John should just be John

This week, Pastor Russ brings a raw and powerful word in part two of our Dangerous Prayers series: “Break Me.” It's not an easy prayer—it confronts our pride, sin, and comfort. But it's in brokenness that God begins His deepest work. If you've been asking God for revival, breakthrough, or a deeper relationship with Him… this message is for you.

Pastor Russ kicks off our new series, Dangerous Prayers, with a message called "Search Me." Get ready to pray boldly, trust deeply, and invite God to transform your heart!

This sermon explores the "Prayer of Will," a prayer of surrender where we align our desires with God's plan, even when it differs from our own. Using Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane as a model, it delves into the battle between our will and God's will, highlighting the importance of trust, obedience, and recognizing God's goodness. The sermon contrasts the expectations of the crowd on Palm Sunday with Jesus' ultimate act of surrender, emphasizing that God's will, though often challenging, leads to a greater purpose, as seen in the salvation offered through Jesus' sacrifice

This sermon explores the “Prayer of Completion,” focusing on the Christian hope for Jesus' return and the restoration of all things. It emphasizes that this hope provides vision and endurance for believers as they navigate the present while eagerly anticipating the future. Using biblical examples and Jesus' teachings, the message encourages active and faithful stewardship in the waiting period, urging believers to live out God's will on Earth as it is in Heaven. Ultimately, it's a call to embrace the “Come, Lord Jesus” prayer with anticipation and live in a way that reflects that longing.    

Are there prayers we avoid, not because God won't answer, but because he might? In this episode, we unpack five dangerously honest prayers that challenge our comfort, confront our fears, and stretch our faith. If you've ever been afraid of what God might say, this is one is for you.Get more out of the Live Changed Podcast!

This sermon explores the concept of "calling" and vocation, addressing the common misunderstanding that only those in traditional ministry roles have a true calling. It delves into the history of this misunderstanding, highlighting the Reformation's emphasis on everyone being called to serve God through their unique roles and talents. The message emphasizes that every believer has both a general calling (to follow Christ) and a specific calling (to use their gifts to serve God and others). Using Isaiah's prayer as an example, the sermon encourages listeners to offer themselves willingly to God's plans, trusting that God will equip them for the task. Ultimately, it's a call to embrace one's unique contribution to God's kingdom and respond with "Here I am, send me".

This week's sermon explores the "Dangerous Prayer" of examination, found in Psalm 139:23-24, where we invite God to search our hearts and reveal any offensive ways within us. Just as we might avoid a doctor's visit for fear of what we'll discover, we often hesitate to fully surrender to God's examination. However, this sermon encourages us to trust God's goodness and perfect timing, allowing Him to conduct a "heart audit" to expose and address those areas that hinder our relationship with Him. It's a call to complete surrender and a willingness to confront any inconvenient truths, ultimately leading to freedom and the incomparable fruit of walking in the Spirit.
