Podcasts about prayer life

This episode explores the biblical concept of the “secret place,” emphasizing intentional solitude and prayer as the primary arena where identity as sons and daughters of God is formed, drawing from Matthew 6 and Psalms to show that true spiritual transformation does not happen in public, but in hidden communion with the Father. The speaker contrasts modern culture's fixation on noise, self‑promotion, emotional validation, and constant stimulation with God's invitation to silence, obedience, and submission, teaching that the secret place is not for self‑care or emotional relief, but for dying to self and becoming like Christ. Through personal stories, Scripture, historical Christian voices, and psychological research, the episode argues that freedom from fear, clarity of calling, and spiritual authority are birthed through faithful, disciplined time alone with God, where trust is built, idols are dismantled, and God's will takes precedence over personal feelings or ambition

What if the reason we've stopped praying isn't because we've lost our faith, but because we've misunderstood how prayer actually works? This powerful exploration of John 15:1-8 challenges our performance-driven approach to spiritual growth and invites us into something far more transformative: abiding. Jesus describes Himself as the vine and us as the branches, revealing that fruitfulness doesn't come from striving harder but from staying connected longer. We live in a culture that has trained us for immediacy—instant results, quick answers, and fast outcomes. But when we bring this consumeristic mindset into our relationship with God, we set ourselves up for disappointment. Prayer becomes transactional rather than relational. The Greek word 'mino' that Jesus uses for 'abide' means to stay, to remain, to make your home somewhere. It's about conscious engagement with the presence of an omnipresent God. We're not climbing a ladder to reach God or strengthening a muscle to impress Him. We're simply staying close, even when things feel quiet, even when we doubt, even when we don't get the answers we want. This message liberates us from the exhausting cycle of spiritual self-sufficiency and invites us into the rest of depending on Jesus for everything. Apart from Him, we can do nothing—and that's not meant to shame us, but to free us.Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@CelebrateChurchCelebrate Church is led by Pastor Noah Rollins.

We're studying “The Prayer Life of Jesus” because Jesus not only taught a framework for prayer called the Lord's Prayer, but he modeled it. This Sunday, Pastor Rob unpacked the longest recorded prayer of Jesus in John 17, revealing Jesus' heart for his disciples and the church our world desperately needs.

In today's heartfelt conversation, Carol McLeod and Heather O'Brien unpack the real and sometimes difficult journey of prayer. Together, they explore disappointment, long suffering, and the deep work God does in us as we keep showing up in faith. Through honest stories and biblical insight, they highlight the power of thanksgiving, the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and practical encouragement for new believers. This episode invites you to connect with God in a deeper, more authentic way, trusting that prayer can transform your life even in seasons of struggle. Connect with Heather and find her work at https://heatherobrien.net/ Have a prayer request or feedback?Email Carol at: carol@carolmcleodministries.comShe and her team would love to pray for you.

What are your new year's resolutions? Guest Pastor and friend of New North, Eugene Cho kicked off our new series “The Prayer Life of Jesus” and shared how the discipline of solitude is vital to our prayer life, yet it's not often added as a goal in life. We live in a very counter cultural world where many things are competing for our attention and vying for our affection and adoration - making slowing down and making space for God something very hard to put in practice. Solitude and Sabbath are gifts from God and something Jesus, even the Son of God needed too! This week, watch Eugene's message for tips on building solitude into our life's rhythm.

Miller, Trillia Newbell, and George Robertson take a fresh look at the prayers of Ephesians with the hope of deepening our delight in drawing near to God. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Matthew 6:5-13 | E.M. Bounds in his classic, Power Through Prayer, notes that prayer is great spiritual work, and our flesh opposes great spiritual work. This is so true. We long to lean into this great spiritual work in a deeper way because we know there is a depth of communion, transformation, and enjoyment with the Lord as our prayer life with Him deepens.  This Sunday we turn to Jesus' teaching on prayer in the Sermon on the Mount to prepare us for a deeper prayer life in 2026.

WE ARE BACK! This episode comes from our vault of "Lost Episodes" from last year. We interview Ricky Gravely (the guy who never does podcasts) about the prayer life of Christ. 

From Restless to Rooted: Joshua Williams on Calling, Repentance, and a Faith That Endures.What happens when the map you drew for your life no longer fits the road God is actually giving you? In this continuation of our conversation with Joshua Williams, we trace a candid journey through disappointment, redirection, and the quiet practices that turn belief into a way of life. This isn't highlight-reel faith; it's the daily, hidden work of following Jesus when the feelings fade and the next step isn't obvious.In this episode you'll hear about:Calling vs. career: how God reshapes ambition into service and steadies the heart when doors close.Repentance as renewal: not shame, but the rhythm that keeps love honest and hope alive.Prayer that holds in storms: learning to pray Scripture when words run out.Community and accountability: why “just me and Jesus” isn't enough when you're tired, tempted, or unsure.Sacrament and Scripture together: how worship and the Word form a faith that lasts beyond trends.Suffering without cynicism: carrying grief to Christ and finding courage to begin again.Why listen: If you're in a season of waiting, change, or quiet rebuilding, Joshua's story offers both clarity and comfort—practical ways to keep moving with Jesus when you're short on answers but rich in questions.If this conversation encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs steadying grace, and leave a quick review with the one practice—prayer, repentance, or community—you're committing to this week.**********What if the road to Jesus runs through a guru? We sit down with Joshua to trace his unlikely path from a Romanian “enlightenment” school to Orthodox Christianity, and we ask the questions seekers rarely say aloud: Do mystical experiences prove truth, or do they force us to ask which spirit we're listening to?Joshua describes leaving the U.S. to “throw himself into the arms of the universe,” clinging to ideas like reincarnation and religious unity while resisting the moral claims of Christ. Inside a syncretic school that blended Hindu and Buddhist concepts, he encountered a compelling teacher, apparent clairvoyance, and a vision of reality where Brahman reigns as impersonal essence. That promise of unity felt expansive—until it demanded he treat personhood, love, and moral responsibility as illusions. We contrast that with the Orthodox claim that God is personal and tri-personal: the Trinity as eternal communion, love that exists before creation, and a God who is everywhere present yet distinct from creation. Rather than absorbing us into a faceless One, God calls us by name and invites real relationship.Across the conversation, we map the turning points: irritation at the name of Jesus giving way to self-awareness, recognition of authentic Christian witness, and a rethinking of “science versus faith” that leaves shallow slogans behind. We explore discernment of spirits, why power isn't proof, and how an impersonal metaphysics drifts toward quiet nihilism. Then we look at the Orthodox vision of personhood that grounds meaning: if we're made in God's image, our capacity for love is not a cosmic trick—it's the point.If you've chased enlightenment and still long for a face behind the light, this story will meet you where you are. Listen, share with a friend who's wrestling with pantheism or syncretism, and leave a review to help others find the show.

In this heartfelt Community Conversation, Angel Miraya joins Shelly to talk about the complicated, beautiful season of midlife where multiple roles collide—mom, grandmother, daughter, caregiver, and woman rediscovering her own purpose. Angel shares how running four half-marathons in 28 days became a spiritual reset, how she's supporting her daughter through single motherhood, and why perspective, community, and prayer are everything.Her story offers encouragement for every woman navigating transitions she didn't expect, holding joy and grief at the same time, and learning to trust God with the pieces of life that feel too heavy to carry alone.Key Takeaways:You can hold joy and grief together—midlife is full of bittersweet moments.Allowing yourself to feel your emotions helps you process change instead of pushing through it.Intentional prayer creates space for perspective, peace, and God's guidance.Surrender isn't passive—it's choosing to trust God with outcomes you can't control.Supporting adult children looks different in every season, and grace is required on both sides.Grandmotherhood brings unexpected gifts and healing for the parts of motherhood you didn't get to experience.Perspective determines whether you see your responsibilities as burdens or as opportunities to love and serve.Community—safe friends who pray with you and for you—makes all the difference in a demanding season.Small daily shifts in obedience, kindness, or encouragement create a legacy bigger than any milestone.God often answers prayers in ways we didn't expect, but His timing is always intentional and good.

Message from Aron Kirk on November 16, 2025

Do You Struggle with Your “Prayer Life”? Find a Quiet Place for Your Personal Relationship with God and Pray to the Universe's Creator MESSAGE SUMMARY: Do you struggle with your “Prayer Life”, even though you know it is the most important component of a life lived as a Jesus Follower? Abraham provides you with a model for a “Prayer Life” that works. Abraham was an awesome man, and he had things happen in his life that were both important for him and humankind down through the ages as a resultant of his “Prayer Life”. For the development of your own “Prayer Life”, you can learn from Abraham's “Prayer Life”. One of the first things Abraham did, when he went to a new location or was in a new situation, was to build an altar to the Lord and call on the Lord's name in prayer. In Genesis 12:8, Abraham's focus on and the priority given to his “Prayer Life” is described: “From there he {Abraham}moved to the hill country on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. And there he built an altar to the LORD and called upon the name of the LORD.". Prayer was a priority for Abraham to build a place for God in his life and for his personal relationship with God. A way you can follow Abraham's example is to find an altar, a church, or a quiet place in your life to worship and pray, and to call upon the Lord's name like Abraham.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift! Thank you that there is nothing I can do to earn your love; it comes without any strings attached. As I close my eyes for these few minutes before you, all I can say is, thank you! In Jesus' name, amen.  Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 133). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM A CHILD OF GOD. Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become children of God-- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

As Christians, prayer is always a whisper away. Prayer is communication with God, and we can live each minute of the day in a constant, flowing conversation with God. You don't need a special appointment to talk with God. You can do so, anywhere, and at any time. Main Points:1. There is significant value in making a specific time for prayer. In fact, I think that if we are not intentional about a time and a place for prayer, it's likely we won't be consistent in our prayer life.2. When you think of God's goodness and his blessings, you can have a spontaneous moment of praise and gratitude towards God. When you see a prayer request posted on Facebook, you can pause and bring that need to the Lord.3. What a blessing it is for you and me to have such access to God. It's truly amazing. The God of the universe, the God who has such power that He spoke and the world came into existence, this God gives you an audience. This God welcomes you into His presence. This God loves you and wants to hear from you. Today's Scripture Verses:1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 - “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”Romans 12:12- “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group
