Podcasts about dependence

Watching and praying keeps us close to Christ. When temptation comes, do we run to Him or rely on ourselves? He alone is our escape and strength. Is there hidden sin or shallowness dulling your soul? Only abiding in Jesus can keep our love burning and our steps steady.Jesus calls us to stay spiritually awake. Are we alert in a distracted world? From Gethsemane to today, “watch and pray” remains a call to surrender, dependence, and endurance. As we fix our eyes on Him, He keeps us, equips us, and uses us. Let us not sleep—let us pray.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

In this episode we are finish Luke 7 with a look at Luke 7:36-50. In this passage, Jesus is invited over to Simon, the Pharisee's house, and is encountered by the sinful woman. Together we again discuss the role of dependence in our lives and the importance of our undivided dependence on Jesus in everything we do. When our dependence is divided among multiple things, we find anxiety and fear, but when our dependence is focused on Jesus alone, despite the uncertainty around us, we can find true peace.

As much as we'd like to, none of us can see the future. But that hasn't stopped us from trying. Financial advisors attempt to forecast markets, meteorologists predict the weather, and sports fans try to call the final score.But when it comes to our finances—and our faith—there's an important distinction between wise planning and prideful presumption. So how do we tell the difference?The late civil rights leader Ralph Abernathy once said, “I don't know what the future may hold, but I know Who holds the future.” That's a comforting truth. God is sovereign—and that brings peace. But His sovereignty doesn't remove our responsibility to act wisely.Biblical Planning Is a Form of StewardshipScripture doesn't discourage planning—it commands it. In fact, wise planning is an essential part of faithful stewardship. God has entrusted us with time, money, relationships, and opportunities. Even though we can't predict tomorrow, we're still called to be faithful with today.Proverbs 6 paints a vivid picture of this wisdom:“Go to the ant… consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.”The ant doesn't know what's ahead, but it prepares. Likewise, Jesus tells us in Matthew 25 to live in a state of readiness. “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.” Though He's referring to His return, the principle holds: life is short, time is precious, and we are not in control.When Planning Becomes PresumptionPlanning becomes presumption when we assume control over outcomes that belong to God alone.To presume means “to assume something before you know the facts.” Biblically, presumption is often associated with pride—living as if we control the future and no longer need God's input. This attitude is precisely what Jesus warns against in the Parable of the Rich Fool (Luke 12).After a man harvests a bumper crop, he says to himself:“I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones…You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”But God replies: “You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you.”The man's mistake wasn't in planning or saving—it was planning without God. He assumed he had time, control, and security apart from his Creator.James 4 echoes this same warning:“Now listen, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city...' Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.”The Antidote: Humble, God-Dependent PlanningJames doesn't say “don't make plans.” Instead, he offers this wise alternative:“Instead, you ought to say, ‘If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that.'”This kind of planning begins with God and continues with Him. It's rooted in trust, not control. We may set goals, but we do so with open hands, inviting God to direct our steps (Proverbs 16:9).This happens in the context of a relationship. As we grow in intimacy with the Lord—through prayer, Scripture, community, and obedience—our plans begin to reflect His heart and mission.If you're married, begin planning through prayer with your spouse. If you have kids, model this dependence on God in your family conversations. Let them see you trusting God not just for salvation, but also for your finances, schedule, and future.Wise counsel is key. Don't plan in isolation. Talk to a pastor, mentor, or a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) who can help you apply biblical wisdom to your financial decisions.So yes, make plans. Just don't leave God out of them. Hold your goals loosely. And remember: success isn't defined by your ability to predict or control the future—it's defined by your willingness to seek and trust the One who holds it.Want to explore this topic further?

Have we grown spiritually sleepy? Jesus warned that our willing spirit must overcome weak flesh through watchful prayer. Overconfidence or distraction dulls our alertness. Are we depending on Him or drifting into comfort? True strength is found in humble prayer. If media or busyness has stolen our fire, it's time to repent and return. Revival begins when we wake up.Jesus calls us to stay spiritually awake. Are we alert in a distracted world? From Gethsemane to today, “watch and pray” remains a call to surrender, dependence, and endurance. As we fix our eyes on Him, He keeps us, equips us, and uses us.

What if true blessing isn't about being strong, but about surrender? In this message, inspired by Lecrae's journey from burnout to restoration, we explore Jesus' words in Matthew 5:3-4 and discover how admitting “God, I can't do this” can be the start of real life. Learn six powerful ways we depend on God for our physical, emotional, and spiritual flourishing — and how weakness becomes strength in Him.

The Lord's Prayer: Dependence (Matthew 6:11) by The Chapel Norwalk Campus

In a world that often rewards the beautiful, the wealthy, and the strong, what does it truly mean to be favored by God? Join Pastor Derek Holmes as he takes us on a journey through Luke 18, examining five powerful encounters with Jesus. We'll meet a diverse group of people—each one seeking something from the Lord. But as we listen, a surprising and beautiful pattern emerges. The people who receive mercy, grace, and a place in God's Kingdom aren't the ones we'd typically expect. Instead, they are the desperate, the humble, the dependent, and the broken. This sermon is a profound reminder that the Kingdom of God isn't a club for the perfect; it's a refuge for the needy. It's for those who recognize their emptiness and their deep, unshakeable need for a Savior—a need that only Christ can satisfy. Key Themes: - Humility vs. Pride - The Power of Dependence on God - Finding Grace in Brokenness - The True Nature of God's Kingdom

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Mark Thompson from Lakeland, FL. Thank you for your generosity and partnership in Project 23. You're helping others find strength to obey—even when it's hard. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 14:32-42: And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled. And he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch.” And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour? Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words. And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they did not know what to answer him. And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.” — Mark 14:32-42 Gethsemane is a painful place. Here, in this garden, we find Jesus wrestling deeply with his humanity. He is troubled, sorrowful, distressed—He fully feels the weight of what lies ahead. He knows obedience to his Father means unimaginable suffering. He prays earnestly, honestly: “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me.” But then, with unmatched humility and surrender, He adds, “Yet not what I will, but what you will.” His obedience is not casual. It's costly. His submission is not reluctant. It's fully surrendered. Obedience, for Jesus, was agony, and yet, he willingly embraced it. The disciples slept nearby, oblivious to the battle their Lord was fighting. They couldn't stay awake, not realizing the spiritual weight of that moment. Jesus wakes them, warning, “Watch and pray...the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” He wasn't just describing their struggle. He was modeling the solution: total dependence on the Father, even when it hurts. Real obedience is often difficult. It can feel like loss, struggle, or even suffering. Obeying God when it's comfortable and convenient is easy—but true obedience comes in our Gethsemane moments, when we choose God's will over our comfort. Perhaps today, you face a decision where obedience feels like loss, pain, or struggle. Jesus shows you how to respond. Bring your honest fears and struggles to God. Admit the pain. But don't stop there—choose surrender. Say it out loud like Jesus did, “Not my will, but yours.” This kind of obedience might be costly, but it's also transforming. Your greatest growth often comes through your greatest surrender. #Obedience #Gethsemane #Mark14 ASK THIS: Why do you think obedience often comes with a sense of loss or pain? What can you learn from Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane? In what area of your life is God calling you to surrender? How can you practically “watch and pray” in your moments of struggle? DO THIS: Reflect on one area where obedience feels difficult right now. Pray honestly, express your struggle, then deliberately say to God, “Not my will, but yours.” PRAY THIS: Jesus, thank you for modeling obedience—even in the midst of agony. Teach me to pray, trust, and obey like you did, especially when it's hardest. I choose Your will over mine. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Surrender.”

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Lee Hover from Kirland, WA. Thank you for your generosity and partnership in Project 23. You're helping equip many to live faithfully. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 14:26-31: And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.' But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.” Peter said to him, “Even though they all fall away, I will not.” And Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” But he said emphatically, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And they all said the same. — Mark 14:26-31 Jesus sees clearly what Peter cannot yet see—danger ahead. In response to Jesus' sobering warning, Peter declares with great confidence: “Even if everyone else fails, I won't.” His intentions are good, but his self-assessment is dangerously flawed. Peter is overestimating his spiritual strength and underestimating the trial he's about to face. Jesus gently warns him: “Tonight, you will deny me three times.” But Peter insists emphatically, relying on his own courage, loyalty, and determination rather than leaning humbly into Jesus' warning. Peter's overconfidence blinds him. He doesn't recognize that good intentions are insufficient when pressure and temptation arise. His bold words may seem brave in the moment, but his self-confidence ultimately sets him up for a painful fall. We are often more like Peter than we realize. We confidently promise God things based on our determination, willpower, or emotions. We often imagine ourselves to be stronger, wiser, and more faithful than we are. This misplaced confidence makes us vulnerable, unprepared for temptation, trials, and spiritual setbacks. Overconfidence in ourselves leaves little room for dependence on God. The truth is, spiritual strength isn't found in making big promises to God—it's found in humble, daily dependence on Christ. Don't let your confidence rest on your strength. Don't let pride blind you to your weaknesses. Let your confidence be in Christ alone—His strength, His grace, His sustaining power. Surrender any overconfidence to the Lord today! Like right now. Before you do something stupid later today. #Overconfidence #Mark14 #HumbleFaith ASK THIS: When have you been overly confident spiritually, and what was the result? How does Peter's failure encourage humility in your own life? What practical steps can you take to depend more on Christ's strength? Why is it dangerous to rely primarily on your good intentions? DO THIS: Today, humbly ask God to reveal any areas where you might be overly confident in yourself. Surrender those areas to Him and acknowledge your need for His strength. PRAY THIS: Jesus, forgive me when I trust more in myself than in You. Reveal the pride hidden in my heart. Help me to depend fully on Your strength, not mine. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me.”

Will we live in spiritual alertness, or sleep as the enemy approaches? Among the olive trees, Jesus was pressed like an olive, bearing our sin in anguish and surrender. Are we awake to the price He paid for us? He calls us to stay spiritually awake through prayerful surrender.Jesus calls us to stay spiritually awake. Are we alert in a distracted world? From Gethsemane to today, “watch and pray” remains a call to surrender, dependence, and endurance. As we fix our eyes on Him, He keeps us, equips us, and uses us.

Even in seasons of deep pain or uncertainty, Jesus draws near to comfort us—then equips us comfort to others. Because of Him, we can live with the confidence that we’ve been made right with God, positioned to receive His favor, and invited to experience the blessings of His kingdom.

Episode 2674: David and Constantino Khalaf explore how healthy dependence, rather than complete self-reliance, can foster deeper intimacy and emotional connection in relationships. By shifting from “I'll do it myself” to “How can we do this together?”, couples can strengthen their bonds through vulnerability, mutual influence, and intentional acts of connection. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.gottman.com/blog/healthy-dependence-healthy-relationships/ Quotes to ponder: "Depending on others is part of our genetic makeup, our emotional dependence on loved ones remains strong." "Being depended on helps Constantino feel that he is appreciated and useful in our marriage rather than feeling left out or neglected." "Even if David can assert his independence, it doesn't always mean he should."

Everything we have is a blessing from God, and how we handle our resources has a spiritual impact. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how to be a good steward of our resources, gifts, and talents. He shares some of the Bible's promises surrounding money, and he corrects three common misconceptions about wealth and Christianity—that it's unspiritual to be rich, everyone should share equally, and prosperity is an indicator of holiness. God gives each of us gifts and abilities, and we have the opportunity to use them to advance His Kingdom!

In this episode, "Vision Requires Dependence," Pastor Maria McWhorter delves into a powerful truth: we weren't meant to carry God's vision alone. It requires dependence on Jesus, and connection with others. Without that dependence, we risk drifting off course, or giving up entirely. Let this message challenge and encourage you to lean into the One who gives the vision and the grace to walk it out.

TODAY'S DEVOTION: Change requires work. Change of appetites, change of habits. Changing the things we turn to instead of turning from. It's going to take some work, and that's going to take some time. You might be sick and tired of your way of doing things. Maybe you're just exhausted with yourself. If so, Peter tells us right here that getting rid of the things you want to change isn't going to be enough. If we just remove it, when the troubles come, when we're stressed out, we're going to go right back to where we've been and do the things we've done before. No, simply stopping what you're doing doesn't bring about the change that you want. It's not just stopping, no. It will also require starting—craving something new. The answer is never just to get rid of the old, to sweep the cupboards of all the junk food. No. You've got to change your diet and begin craving something altogether different: the pure spiritual milk of God's Word. It requires a total change of diet. We must replace it and not just remove it. We need to assume a childlike heart and crave the pure spiritual milk of the Word. The Word is Christ. To draw from Christ our nourishment, our comfort, our life. Peter says become like a baby in that regard: totally dependent upon him. Peter says if we do that, we will begin to experience change—real change from the inside out. So let's do that. Let's continue to show up here each and every day to train our souls, to partake of God's food, his milk, his bread, to be dependent upon him for our very breath. It's not just about getting rid of things. It's about him—finding our life in him, learning something new altogether as we come to him, the source of our true nourishment and life. And that's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving God, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation, Shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home, Heal the wounds of division and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And our Lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift to bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

South Korea and China have a complex relationship characterized by economic interdependence, strategic competition, and regional security concerns. Navigating this delicate balance has been a defining challenge for every South Korean president. Newly elected President Lee Jae Myung has assumed power at a time of increasing US-China strategic competition as well as uncertain global supply chains and growing threat from North Korea. Could this new administration mark a shift in Seoul's approach to Beijing? Or will President Lee maintain strategies similar to that of President Yoon?To discuss ROK-China relations, and President Lee's approach to this intricate issue, we are joined on the podcast today by Dr. Ramon Pacheco-Pardo. He is a professor of international relations at King's College London and the KF-VUB Korea Chair at the Center for Security, Diplomacy and Strategy in the Brussels School of Governance. He is also an adjunct fellow with the Korea Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and the author of several books on the domestic affairs and foreign policy of South and North Korea.  Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:44] “[P]ragmatic diplomacy centered on national interests”[05:06] State of Play for Sino-South Korean Relations[09:56] Balancing Between the United States and China[14:47] China Taking Advantage of US-ROK Frictions [19:03] Economic Interdependence as a Leverage[25:39] Xi Jinping Attending APEC South Korea 2025[31:11] American Pressure on Allies to Protect Taiwan

Are We Being Punished By The Storms? Background - As we have tuned into the news over the past week, we have seen incredible tragedy from the storms and flooding across Texas, New Mexico, and up the eastern part of the country. In the meantime, we hear about the growing wildfires sweeping across California and the Northwest.  These days, it seems like no one is safe or spared from the storms. I've heard all kinds of reasons and thoughts behind these events. “God is punishing us”, “Climate change is real”, “We get what we deserve”, the list of explanations goes on as we try to use ideas of faith, science, and whatever else we can insert into the picture to help us reason through the storms we face.  During today's show, we are not going to attempt to explain why these storms occur.  We are not going to point fingers at who is doing things right and who is possibly doing things wrong. What we are going to do is discuss what God wants from us and what we can do to work through the storms of life. 1. Storms are Inevitable, Not Always a Consequence of Sin: If your neighborhood was hit by a tornado you might take that personally and think it was something about your sin that caused the tornado.It's a common misconception that storms or hardships are  always a direct result of personal sin. Jesus Himself stated, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). Troubles are a given, even for believers. How about Job? He endured immense suffering despite being described as "blameless and upright" (Job 1:1).2. Storms Can Be a Means of Growth and Refinement: Just as a refiner's fire purifies gold, storms can purify our faith and character. Difficulties often expose areas where we need to grow, deepen our dependence on God, and develop perseverance. James 1:2-4 encourages us with this perspective: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." The storms, therefore, are not meant to break us, but to build us up.3. Storms Can Be a Testimony to God's Power: When we navigate storms with faith and integrity, our lives can become a powerful testimony to God's faithfulness and strength. Others observe how we respond to adversity and can be drawn to the God who sustains us. Advice - How Christians Can Expect and Make It Through Storms While Honoring God1. Stop Focusing on the Storm, Start Focusing on What You Are Doing in the Storm. 2. Anchor Yourself in God's Word: 3. Lifestyle of Prayer and Dependence: 4. Trust in God's Sovereignty and Goodness: 5. Seek Community and Support: 6.

On To Maturity series | January 2025

These urgent commentaries expose what the speaker calls an unprecedented threat from China—smuggling lethal bioweapons into the U.S. to devastate agriculture and human health, while leveraging America's reliance on rare earth minerals to force political concessions. From rare earth and coal mines reopening after decades to explosive claims about Chinese Communist Party funding of environmental lawsuits that cripple U.S. energy production, the episodes paint a picture of a coordinated assault on American sovereignty. Featuring critical analysis of the Biden administration, praise for Trump's decisive policies, and warnings that the future of American manufacturing, military strength, and prosperity hangs in the balance, these segments call for a renewed focus on energy independence and vigilance against foreign influence.

Stephanie Rousselle welcomes back author and speaker Katie Reid. They dive into practical faith lessons rooted in Katie's Bible study, God, What Do I Do?, which explores the first five chapters of Judges—a book that surprisingly offers deep insights for navigating life's uncertainties. Transitions—graduations, moves, empty nesting—often prompt us to ask, “God, what do I do?” Katie Reid begins with the importance of remembering God's past faithfulness. Just as God's people in Scripture set up literal memorial stones to help future generations recall His mighty works, we're called to do the same in our own way. When facing the unknown, look back: Has God ever provided when you couldn't see the way forward? Remembering builds faith for the present and the future. Katie offers a practical tip: Share stories of God's provision with your family or community. This strengthens everyone's faith and creates a culture of expectation for God's continued faithfulness. A common misconception is that God's rules are restrictive. However, the Book of Judges and Katie's personal example remind us that God's guidance is meant for our protection and ultimate freedom. Just as parents warn children out of love, God sets boundaries to spare us unnecessary pain and lead us to fuller life. Katie invites us: Consider a time you resisted God's leading, only to discover later that His way was truly for your good. In Judges 1, the Israelites start out strong in obeying God, but falter when they encounter intimidating obstacles (“iron chariots”). Katie shares from her own experience—facing a daunting move to Florida without knowing all the details—that sometimes God asks us to walk forward in faith before providing the full picture. Partial obedience or giving in to intimidation can rob us of experiencing God's best. Katie suggests, Ask yourself: What are your “iron chariots”—those fears or obstacles tempting you to stop short? Where might God be inviting you to complete, not just partial, obedience? Prayer is our lifeline, especially in confusing times. The Israelites often forgot to inquire of the Lord, leading to trouble. Katie urges that “SOS prayers” (“God, help!”) are not only acceptable, but powerful. Lean into God honestly—He delights in our dependence, not our performance. So, in moments of overwhelm, pause and simply pray. No fancy words needed. Dependence is what God desires. Both obedience and disobedience set ripples in motion for generations. Testifying—sharing what God has done—points others to His ongoing goodness. Judges 5 models this with a “testimony song,” celebrating God's victories. Here's an idea: Write down or verbally share a recent “God moment” with a friend or family member. The Book of Judges isn't just a cautionary tale; it's an invitation to deeper trust and practical obedience. Remember what God has done, trust His commands, move forward in faith—even without all the answers—and don't be afraid to cry out honestly in prayer. Celebrate small wins, and share what God is doing. This is how uncertain times become seasons of spiritual growth and fresh clarity. Throughout the study, Katie invites us to apply these lessons in our transitions, decisions, and daily walk, trusting that God leads, remembers, and is always faithful.

Reid shows you how to move forward in times of transition and trial when you don't know what to do and God's voice seems silent.

We're watching it happen in real time: children who are overstimulated, underdeveloped, and cut off from the real-world experiences that shape a full, vibrant life. In this groundbreaking conversation, Dr. Nicholas Kardaras—addiction expert and bestselling author of Glow Kids—returns to the podcast alongside Andrew Laubacher, executive director of Humanality. Together, they expose the modern epidemic of screen dependence, explore its spiritual and neurological toll, and explain why childhood itself is being disrupted at the deepest levels. But this isn't just a diagnosis—it's a roadmap out. Andrew shares his journey of trading viral fame for a flip phone and true freedom, and how Humanality is helping young adults and families reclaim creativity, community, and resilience. Dr. Kardaras offers a stark warning about AI, influencer culture, and tech's sedative effect on society—but also gives hope that we can still turn the tide. If you've ever wondered whether we're doing enough to protect our kids, this episode will shake you—and empower you. ** Books mentioned in this episode: Glow Kids by Dr. Nicholas Kardaras Digital Madness by Dr. Nicholas Kardaras Generation AI by Matt Britton Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman The Disappearance of Childhood by Neil Postman The Shallows by Nicholas Carr Slow Productivity by Cal Newport Careless People by Sarah Churchwell Learn more about your ad choices.

What if God loves you just as much as Jesus? Discussion Questions: React to this statement: You are not of this world! What does sanctified mean? How do people try to be sanctified? What really sanctifies? What level of oneness did Jesus pray for? What evidence do you see of this in the passage? React to this statement: The Father loves you just as much as He loves Jesus. Read verse 24. What does it mean to be with Jesus where He is? How does knowing your oneness lead to a healthier view of dependence? What is the biggest takeaway for you from this message?

While we all desire independence to avoid vulnerability, we can learn to trust God as our rock and strength when we finally come to a place of admitting that we need Him. Knowing that we are secure in Him brings us peace beyond understanding in the midst of all adversity.

The global church is exploding with growth and miracles, but what's their secret? We sit down with Ryan Skoog, founder of Venture & Co, to uncover how radical prayer, not just leadership principles, is fueling a worldwide revival.Ryan's ministry works in the “three UNs”—UNsafe, UNreached, and UNresourced parts of the world, where partners face persecution and miracles are commonplace. He shares eye-opening insights from his book, Lead With Prayer, revealing how the fastest-growing churches on earth are powered by a deep, authentic prayer life.Join us as we dive into:✅The shocking truth about prayer among Western leaders: Why more experience and education often lead to less prayer.✅“Friendship First”: How dynamic prayer lives are built on simply “wasting time” with Jesus, not just a laundry list of requests.✅Crafting a Day with God: Practical rhythms and habits to integrate prayer throughout your day, from morning psalms to blessing strangers.✅From Spiritual Warfare to Miracles: Ryan shares a raw, personal story of how daily communion transformed his family's battle with demonic nightmares and saved his business during COVID.✅Prayer Forges Courage: Discover how spending time in God's presence equips leaders to make tough decisions with humble confidence (hear the wild story of Ryan's dad!).✅Communal Prayer & Maximum Yield: How individual prayer ignites corporate movements, and how discerning God's will through prayer can lead to unprecedented fruitfulness in ministry and life.This conversation will challenge your assumptions about what prayer can be and inspire you to engage with God in a more profound, transformational way. Take the Bible seriously, but learn not to take yourself too seriously, as we explore the radical middle of Word + Spirit.0:00 Introduction: Ryan Skoog on Prayer2:57 Inspiration for the Book on Prayer5:57 Western Church & Dependence on the Spirit9:47 Prayer Vs.
