Podcasts about prayer life

Prayer is essential to ministry—but building a consistent prayer life isn't always easy. In this episode, Craig Owens shares insights from his new book, Developing a Consistent Prayer Life, offering practical, biblical encouragement for pastors and ministry leaders. Discover why prayer isn't about getting predictable results—it's about walking faithfully with God every day. If you're longing for a deeper, more consistent prayer life, this conversation is for you.

If you just threw ingredients into a pot on the stove, you are more likely to make a mess instead of a meal. But if you follow the recipe, you can make a good dinner. Many believers have weak, powerless, and unsatisfying prayer lives because they do not pray according to the principles of God's Word. But if you know these biblical principles and carefully follow them, you can have a fruitful and effective prayer life. Do you make a mess of your prayer life or do you enjoy peace, power and blessing through prayer? To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/791/29?v=20251111

SUMMARY: Most of us parent from what we already know and love. We steer our kids toward the sports we played and the interests we developed, and then we wait for them to get excited about our world. In Part 6 of the Multipliers series, Jeff reads Chapter 23 of the DadAwesome book and shares an archive clip with Alex Burton about a prayer, a purple carabiner, and a campfire question that changed everything. TAKEAWAYS Delight in what they delight in. Stop waiting for your kids to get excited about your world and step into theirs instead. Our Heavenly Father does not just tolerate what we care about. He delights in it. He came down instead of making us climb up. Ask the men who know you best: what do you see in my life that I am not seeing, and what am I missing? Then do not get defensive. Write down what they say. Connection is worth the sacrifice. The cost is not always money. Sometimes it is time, and sometimes it is setting aside your preferences for theirs. Pause and pray before you show up. Alex asked God what to bring before he ever left his house, and a child he had never met walked away knowing she was known. Guest Alex Burton is an outdoors enthusiast, a climber, and a father of three. He and his wife, Mel, have been married more than 26 years. Alex serves on the staff team at Wild at Heart. His full conversation with Jeff is Episode 297. QUOTES "I experienced something I can only describe as kind fathering from a complete stranger." (04:30) "This wasn't just a piece of climbing equipment anymore. It was proof that someone saw her. Someone cared about what brought her joy. God knew her favorite color, and He used Alex to show her." (04:50) "Alex, right now, if I could choose who'd be around this campfire with, I would choose my son. Can you say the same?" (06:30) "You don't need to become an expert in what your kids love. You just need to show up and jump in. When you step into their world, you're reflecting how God treats us. He came down instead of making us climb up." (10:20) "It wasn't even so much, it could have been anything, but it was purple." (13:20) Alex Burton ACTION STEPS I. Reflection Name what each child delights in. Write down each kid's name, and next to it, what they are into right now. Legos, surfing, bike rides, theater, dance, soccer. If you are not sure, that is your invitation to get curious. Find where you are resisting. Is there a passion of theirs that annoys you, crowds your calendar, or that you secretly hope they outgrow? Name it, then go a step deeper and ask why your heart is positioned that way. Ask if your kids know they are delighted in. Do they know that your favorite role in life, outside of being married to their mom, is being their dad? Try asking them directly: do you have any idea how much I love you? Then watch their eyes. II. Multiplication Ask the campfire question. Take it to two or three friends: what do you see in my life that I am not seeing, and what am I missing? Do not defend yourself. Just write it down. Be an Alex for another dad. Alex took a half day off work for a family he had never met. Could you take time off, help with a project, or create a moment for another dad and his kids? Send a joy bomb. An unexpected gift at an unexpected time, to your wife, your kids, or a dad who is grinding. No occasion required. III. Activation Pray before you show up. Before the recital, the game, or youth group pickup, pause in the car and ask God if there is something He wants you to bring or say. The pause is huge. Jump into their world this week. Research what they love. Show up with a surprising level of joyful curiosity and joyful participation. Put something in their hand. Something small from the store or ordered online, given for no reason, with the words: I see you, I love you, I delight in you. Pray Zephaniah 3:17 over each child by name, out loud, this week. Insert their name into the verse and let it reshape how you pray for them.

from Acts 20:36-38 Revival historian J. Edwin Orr observes, “no great spiritual awakening has begun anywhere in the world apart from united prayer—Christians persistently praying for revival.” Similarly, Matthew Henry suggested that when God wants to do something special in the world, he first gets his people to start praying.

Most of us will quickly admit our prayer life is not what it should be. Jesus shows us how to do it better.

In Episode 213, we explore Luke 11:1-4 and the disciples' request that changed everything about how we pray. Jesus is in a certain place praying. As He finishes, one of His disciples comes to Him with a request that reveals something profound: "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples." They didn't ask Him to teach them to preach. They didn't ask Him to teach them to heal or perform miracles. They asked Him to teach them to pray. Because they watched Jesus pray and saw something they didn't have—a connection, a depth, an intimacy with the Father that was unlike anything they'd ever witnessed. And Jesus gives them a template. Not a script to recite mechanically. Not a formula to perform. A framework to inhabit—a structure that shapes how we approach God and how we live our lives. Through guided meditation, discover the profound movement of this prayer. It begins with God: "Father, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon." Before we bring our needs, we orient ourselves toward God. We remember who He is. We align ourselves with His purposes. We begin not with what we want but with who He is. Then it moves to our daily need: "Give us each day the food we need." Not next year's provision. Not a guarantee for the future. Today's. It's a deliberate invitation to daily dependence—to come back to God every morning with open hands, acknowledging that everything we have comes from Him and everything we need must come from Him. Then to our relationships: "Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us." This is perhaps the most searching line in the prayer. We can't receive forgiveness with a closed fist. The posture that receives grace is the same posture that extends it. You cannot hold onto unforgiveness and receive God's forgiveness at the same time. And finally to our protection: "Don't let us yield to temptation." We acknowledge our weakness. We stop pretending we're strong enough on our own. We ask for God's strength to carry us through what we cannot face alone. This episode explores how this prayer is a complete life of faith in six lines—worship, dependence, forgiveness, and protection. Jesus didn't give us a recitation. He gave us a relationship. Learn how to take each phrase and make it personal, specific, and honest—filling in the blanks with your specific life, your specific needs, your specific sins, your specific temptations. Discover what it means to pray not as a religious duty but as a genuine conversation with a Father who knows you, loves you, and invites you to come to Him with everything. Find the depth and intimacy in prayer that the disciples saw in Jesus—and that Jesus is offering to you.

In Episode 214, we explore Luke 11:5-13 and Jesus' powerful teaching on persistent prayer. Jesus tells a story about a man who goes to his friend's house at midnight needing to borrow three loaves of bread for an unexpected guest. The neighbor is in bed. The door is locked. The family is asleep. Every reason to give up and go home. But the man keeps knocking. And eventually—not out of friendship, but because of the man's shameless persistence—the neighbor gets up and gives him everything he needs. Through guided meditation, discover what Jesus is really teaching here. He's not saying God is like the reluctant neighbor who has to be badgered into responding. He's making the opposite point entirely. If even a grumpy neighbor who is inconvenienced and half asleep will eventually give you what you need because you kept asking—how much more will your heavenly Father, who loves you deeply, who knows your needs before you ask, and who gives good gifts, respond to your persistent prayer? Then Jesus gives three commands—each one more intentional and active than the last. Keep on asking. Keep on seeking. Keep on knocking. Asking is a voice—bringing your need to God in words. Seeking is movement—actively pursuing God and His answers. Knocking is action—pressing forward with intentional, determined faith. Jesus is calling us to a prayer life that doesn't give up, that keeps coming back, keeps pursuing, keeps believing that God hears and God responds. And then He makes the most reassuring promise in all of Scripture about prayer: "For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened." Not maybe. Not sometimes. Not for the spiritually elite or the theologically sophisticated. Everyone. This episode explores what persistent prayer looks like in practice and why we stop praying. Maybe you prayed for months and nothing seemed to happen. Maybe you got discouraged by silence. Maybe you started to wonder if God was listening. Maybe you told yourself the prayer was too small or too big or too complicated. Maybe you quietly concluded that God had said no—when really you just got tired of asking. Learn the crucial difference between God saying no and you getting tired of asking. If God hasn't said no, the door is still open. The invitation to keep knocking still stands. Discover how to pick up the prayers you've put down and bring them back to God with shameless persistence and renewed faith. Find the confidence that comes from knowing your Father gives good gifts—that He is not a reluctant neighbor but a loving Father who hears every prayer and responds with wisdom and love. The man at midnight didn't knock once and go home. He kept knocking until the door opened. God hasn't forgotten your prayer. He hasn't moved on. He hasn't stopped listening. Keep asking. Keep seeking. Keep knocking. The door will be opened.

I'm realizing I often pray after things go sideways, but Jesus said to “watch and pray” so we won't fall into temptation. Maybe prayer is meant to be more than a reaction. Maybe it's part of how God protects our hearts.

Walking closely with God requires a steadfast prayer life that sustains intimacy with Him in every season. Be blessed by this sermon as you listen and share.

Send us Fan MailIf the word “keep” in John 17 sounds small, this message refuses to let it stay small. We walk straight through Jesus' High Priestly Prayer and treat his request like it actually means something: guard them, preserve them, secure them, cause them to persevere. Then we ask the question that hangs over every anxious Christian conscience: if Christ is praying for our perseverance, where is the room for a truly saved person to finally lose salvation?We also zoom in on the shock of John 17:9 where Jesus says, “I do not pray for the world.” That line forces clarity about who Christ is interceding for, what it means to be “given” to the Son, and why God's own name and reputation are presented as the stake holding our salvation firm. Along the way we talk election, predestination, and why Jesus' prayers are never random wishes but deliberate petitions that the Father answers.The prayer stays practical: Jesus does not ask that we be taken out of the world, but that we be kept from evil and the evil one. That reframes tribulation, fear, and endurance, and it also confronts a common distortion of the gospel: mixing grace with lawkeeping as a way to be justified. We close with the strongest comfort in the passage, union with Christ that mirrors the unbreakable bond between the Father and the Son.If this strengthened your assurance or challenged your categories, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review that tells us what line from John 17 hit you hardest.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us Fan MailTwo words can humble you and steady you at the same time: in Christ. We start there and keep pulling the thread until it runs straight through John 17, Hebrews 7, and all the way to the Garden of Gethsemane. If you've ever wondered what the gospel really means when life gets loud, this conversation keeps it simple and weighty: Jesus doesn't just give help, He gives union. And that union is meant to be seen, because the world is watching whether the love of the Father actually shows up among Christ's people.We walk through Jesus' prayer for oneness in John 17 and why that unity matters for witness, perseverance, and courage when you're mocked or dismissed. Then we move into Hebrews 7 and the stunning claim that Christ's priesthood is unchangeable. That means nothing is missing and nothing needs to be added. We talk about Jesus as our High Priest who represents us before God, the truth of imputation and justification, and why the believer's standing is legally secure because Christ's righteousness replaces our sin.Hebrews 7:25 brings it home: Jesus is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God by Him, because He ever lives to make intercession. We slow down on the words “by Him” and why Jesus is not part of the equation but the equation itself. And we close by revisiting Gethsemane, asking whether Christ ever prayed without receiving the answer, and what the “cup” might really point to. If this strengthened you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs assurance, and leave a review with the phrase that challenged you most.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us Fan MailIf you've ever wondered why your prayers sometimes feel unanswered, this conversation turns the spotlight on a different question: has the Father ever said “no” to the Son. We take a close look at the prayer life of Jesus Christ and ask whether his prayers are infallible, effectual, and always answered exactly as he petitions. That question is not abstract theology here it's tied directly to comfort, assurance, and what it means to be kept by God.We walk through James 4:3 and the painful honesty of human prayer: we can ask “amiss,” with motives mixed by pride, fear, or self-focus. Then we contrast that with Christ, whose prayers are presented as wholly others-focused and aimed at the beneficiaries of grace. From there, the discussion presses into the logic of salvation security: if a true believer could lose salvation, what would that imply about Christ's ongoing intercession at the right hand of the Father?A turning point comes in John 11:41–42, where Jesus says, “I knew that you hear me always.” We explore what “hearing” means in context, why Jesus says it out loud for others to believe, and how that shapes confidence in Christ's present ministry. Finally, we step into John 17, often called the high priestly prayer, and ask a direct question many people avoid: who does Jesus pray for, and to what end? Along the way, we address the claims of universal salvation and why Scripture's warnings about judgment, hell, and the lake of fire cannot be brushed aside.If you want a clearer, steadier ground for assurance than your own wavering feelings, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway or question.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Andres wanted a promotion, wanted recognition for his work. When that didn't come, he thought that working harder, and pushing himself and his disciples harder would help him earn the success he was looking for. After a while though, his prayer life was faltering, he was getting burnt out, and he still wasn't seeing the results he was looking for. Eventually, he finally had to ask the question, who was all of this work really for?

That burden led to a night of prayer that helped ignite the Scottish Revival of 1839 and eventually carried him to China, where he spent 21 years serving Christ.In this episode, Ryan Thomas explores the remarkable prayer life of William Chalmers Burns; a man whose private devotion became the foundation of his public ministry.

Who are you worried about? Most of us carry burdens for people we love, but what are we supposed to do with that worry? In Genesis 18:22-33, Abraham is deeply concerned about his nephew Lot. Instead of being consumed by anxiety, he brings his burden to God through intercessory prayer. In this message, Pastor Josh Miller shows us how to turn worry into prayer and why God is still looking for people who will stand in the gap for others. You'll discover: • Why intercession begins with intimacy with God • Why God is looking for intercessors • What it means to contend in prayer • How to pray with greater faith and persistence • Why your burdens may reveal what God is calling you to pray for The people you're most concerned about should become the people you pray for most passionately. Don't waste your worry. Let it drive you to God.
