Join us this week for a brand new sermon mini-series on what it means to build a church together, starting with Matthew 28 verses 16-20.Nearly ten years ago, a small team left downtown Des Moines to plant Walnut Creek Church in Altoona. What began with a handful of families meeting in a renovated 150-year-old building has grown into a thriving church committed to making disciples of Jesus Christ. In this message, we share the vision behind Building Together. A church-wide initiative focused on prayer, generosity, growth, and preparing for the next generation of ministry.From Matthew 28, Ephesians 4, Acts 2, and Psalm 127, we explore God's design for His church and the role each believer plays in making disciples, growing spiritually, and reaching the community with the gospel.Whether you're part of Walnut Creek Church or simply interested in biblical church growth, this message offers a vision for what it means to build together for God's glory.

As we mentioned last week, Media Gratiae is currently producing a new study with Jeremy Walker. We're excited about this project and will share more details with you in the coming months. This week we bring you the final conversation between Jeremy Walker and Teddy James on the corporate prayer service. While last week's episode focused on preparing the heart for gathered prayer, this week turns to the practical side: How can a church begin a regular prayer service if it doesn't have one? And once it exists, how can we participate more faithfully—whether leading out or following along? We pray this episode equips and encourages you, your family, and your church as you approach the throne of grace together.

The episode opens with a caffeine-fueled kickoff and a memorable trivia night story before pivoting into "Judges Gone Wild." Tim breaks down the Olympus Spa case in Washington, where a traditional Korean women-only nude spa was sued for refusing entry to a biological male identifying as a trans woman — and the now-famous Judge Van Dyke dissent that called out the court's selective outrage. From there, they unpack a Massachusetts ruling against HHS and ACIP's revised childhood vaccine schedule, the 1986 Childhood Vaccine Safety Act implications, and why liability — not science — is driving the legal pushback. The second half shifts gears into a conversation every couple needs to hear. Inspired by a viral clip outlining four habits of strong marriages — have more fun together, pray together, make eye contact, and always be touching — Tim and May reflect on grievance culture in therapy, right-hemisphere bonding, the power of 20-second hugs, and why meeting each other's core needs matters more than chasing Hollywood-style romance. They close with a plug for their Substack series on fixing healthcare, including this week's piece, "Exorcism." CONNECT WITH US Thanks for joining us — you are the reason we are here. Have questions?

This week, we began work on a new Media Gratiae study by Jeremy Walker on the topic of killing sin. We always find Jeremy's teaching careful, warm-hearted, and helpful. We are excited to start this new project with him. Last year, Jeremy joined Teddy James on our podcast to discuss a sermon series Jeremy preached to his congregation at Maidenbower Baptist Church in England. The theme was the corporate prayer service. We are rebroadcasting the final few episodes we recorded with Jeremy on the topic.

Praying Together: Learning to Pray Like Jesus - Week 6 by St Stephen's Willoughby

Sunday Morning Worship with co-pastors Russ and Amy Jacks Dean. Our Sunday Morning Worship service from February 8, 2026 was a very special and meaningful time together. During this service, all four of our ministers shared — Russ and Amy Jacks Dean, Dan McClintock, and Caleb Foust. You will hear reflections surrounding a recent diagnosis that co-pastor Amy has received. It was a sacred and honest time in the life of our church — a time to come together as a community, to continue learning and growing, and to deepen our understanding of what it means to bear one another's burdens and walk our journeys side by side. Unfortunately, our live stream equipment experienced technical issues that morning, so this recording was captured via cell phone. For more information, visit ParkRoadBaptist.org.

You’ve probably heard it said that couples that pray together stay together.  Is there any truth to this?  Religion can play a role in helping couples navigate their relationship or it can lead to fractious quarrels and disunion.  Alvean and Doug discuss the pitfalls and the promises that a faith based relationship can offer in this episode.  For a full transcript, click here: LL34-Couples That Pray Together

Join us this week for the second message in our series, "Make Room," with Pastor Nathan Johnson.

Various Passages in Acts | The old adage goes, "The family that prays together, stays together." It's true for church families as well: The church that prays together, stays together. There is unity, fellowship, joy, and missional oneness that comes as we devote ourselves to prayer together. We will take a walk through the book of Acts to look at the times the church gathered for prayer together and the circumstances that drove them to corporate prayer. This must deepen our own convictions for the priority of corporate prayer.

“Again, truly, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in My name, there am I with them.” Matthew 18:19–20Sweet friend, there is power in praying together! Join us for this encouraging segment today!Join us on the podcast for day 29 of our BRAND NEW 30-day audio devotional: Living a Lifestyle of Prayer.

700 episodes! What better way than to do this episode with Nancy who has been here with me through all of the seasons and cohosts and guests on the Awesome Marriage podcast. And there is no better topic for us than to talk about how powerful prayer is for your marriage and the daily rhythm of praying together. Nancy initiated praying together on our first night as a married couple and we've kept it going ever since. Not only does it serve to protect our marriage, but it serves to grow us each closer to the Lord and one another. Join us as we talk about the power of a praying couple and how to pursue spiritual growth together.   Episode Highlights: If you feel uncomfortable, start with silent or guided prayers- just start somewhere. Prayer becomes a rhythm that allows you to partner with God. Prayer becomes the glue that helps you withstand the seasons of marriage and life together. Hard times have been some of the biggest seasons of growth individually and in our marriage.   Quotes from Today's Episode: Praying together can feel intimidating at first, but it's not about perfection—it's about inviting God into your story, one honest word at a time. It's hard to pray when you're angry—and hard to stay angry when you start to pray. There is power in the prayer—and even greater power in the One we pray to. When couples choose to consistently pray and grow together, it changes everything—your marriage, your family, and generations to come will be transformed. Let God lead you, one small step at a time. Habits of faith begin with intentional choices. If you miss a day, don't quit. The habit matters more than perfection—keep pursuing God together. There is nothing like drawing close to your spouse in spiritual intimacy—it's a bond deeper than anything else. Take time to talk honestly about where you are spiritually as a couple, without judgment. Then choose just one thing to pursue together.   Couples Conversation Guide: What fears or awkward feelings do we have about praying together, and how could we take a first step to make it a natural part of our relationship? How has our prayer life (or the lack of it) shaped the emotional and spiritual climate of our marriage so far? In what ways can we set spiritual goals together that encourage growth without feeling like a checklist or competition? How can we support each other through seasons of spiritual dryness or difference in faith, and what role can Scripture or prayer rhythms play in that?

Praying Together by park city church

Pastor Timothy shows how God’s mercy and love creates a praying people.

Read Online“Again, amen, I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:19–20This is a bold and awe-inspiring promise from our Lord. This passage reveals Jesus' desire that we pray with others, uniting our prayer as one and offering it to the Father. Jesus says that when we do this in union with His prayer, our prayer will be answered.The first thing to note is that this passage could easily be misunderstood. For example, is Jesus telling us that if two or more people get together and pray that it rains, then it will happen? Certainly not. The key to understanding this passage is found in the last line: “...there am I in the midst of them.” This means that the goal of gathering together with two or more people in prayer is to unite our unified prayer to the prayer of Jesus. The Father always hears and answers the prayer of the Son. No matter what the Son asks the Father, it is granted. Thus, this passage tells us that the goal of gathering together in prayer with others, that is, with the Church, is to unite ourselves with the one and eternal prayer of God the Son. This is first and foremost fulfilled within the Sacred Liturgy. When we come together in the Liturgy, our prayer is always heard. Why? Because the Liturgy is first an action of God the Son in which He invites us, the Church, to share. And the prayer that is offered is the one and eternal prayer by which God the Son asks the Father to bring salvation to all those who accept the saving action of His sacrifice on the Cross. When we join in this prayer, it is granted.What type of prayer is not answered? First, God does not grant that which fails to serve His mission. Second, if we pray for God's will but fail to do our part, then our prayer cannot be answered. For example, if you pray that you overcome a particular sin but then fail to respond to the grace God gives, then this is not the fault of God. Third, praying for vengeance on those who have hurt us is ineffective. And fourth, praying for the conversion of one who refuses to repent will also be unable to be fulfilled, unless they ultimately repent. These are but a few examples.What type of prayer is effective? As already mentioned, the prayer of the Liturgy as the one Sacrifice of Christ is always heard when we participate in it. But there are other ways that our united prayer will be fulfilled with certainty. For example, if you gather with others and together pray for the grace of deeper conversion, you can be certain that the grace will be offered. It is then up to you to open your heart to that grace so that it is effective. Or if you pray that God offers His mercy to someone caught in sin, you can be certain that that grace will be offered, even if the person refuses to accept it. And the list could go on. Simply put, if we gather with others and seek to unite our prayer to the one and perfect prayer of God the Son as it is offered to the Father in Heaven, then that prayer of the Son in which we share will be answered. Perhaps the best way to pray together in this way is to pray the “Our Father” prayer with another. This prayer is always heard and answered by the Father since it is the prayer given to us by the Son. Reflect, today, upon God the Son praying to the Father. What is His perfect prayer? What does He ask the Father? Look for ways in which you can join with others to unite your own prayer to this prayer of the Son of God. Do this first and foremost in the Sacred Liturgy, but look for other ways in which you can practice this form of prayer. Praying together with others in union with the one prayer of Jesus will always be answered by the Father in Heaven.  My perfect Lord, all that You ask of the Father is granted to You. Please draw me and all the members of Your Church into Your perfect prayer to the Father. May we participate in this prayer especially through the Sacred Liturgy, and also as we gather as two or more. May we pray only with You and in accord with Your perfect will. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Image via Web Gallery of ArtSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Praying Together in a Hostile World (Full Message) by park city church

In this week's message from our Songs For the Road series, we explore Psalm 123 and discover that pilgrim prayers are honest prayers. Together, we look at what it means to be honest about our pain, God's authority, and God's character—and why bringing our unpolished, real selves before God matters. Join us as we learn to lift our eyes beyond contempt and hurt, trusting in His mercy and walking honestly with Him and each other.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Sitting in the prayer service of a church can feel like a passive experience. But it does not have to be. As we conclude our series on the corporate prayer service, Jeremy Walker preaches to his local flock at Maidenbower Baptist Church in Crawley, England about the practice of engaging with the prayer service. It may seem there isn't much to do with your head bowed and eyes closed, but nothing could be further from the truth. We pray this series has been a blessing to you. If you are blessed to be in a church with a healthy prayer service, our hope is that this gives you a renewed appreciation for it and equips you to be prepared for your next opportunity. If you are in a church without such a meeting, we pray there have been some helpful information in these episodes that you can apply to your situation.

We've now spent two weeks focusing on the corporate prayer service. It is our prayer that, if you are not participating in your church's prayer service, or if your church does not have one, you will find a way to begin this sweet means of grace. In this episode, Jeremy Walker and Teddy James discuss some helpful resources on learning to pray, both privately and corporately. Teddy also asks Jeremy for his counsel toward those in churches without a prayer service. How can a pastor begin to lead his flock toward this precious practice? How can a church member encourage his or her pastor to consider it? Next week we will wrap up this series with the second sermon from Jeremy Walker, which offers counsel to those sitting in the prayer service and not praying aloud. This is not an hour of passiveness for them. It should be a time of great, intentional activity.

This week we continue our series on the corporate prayer service. As stated last week, we are sharing the first of two sermons Jeremy Walker preached to his congregation on corporate prayer. Taken from 1 Corinthians 14:16 and Acts 4:24, Jeremy seeks to give practical counsel for those leading out in the prayer service. He discusses how we can come into the service prepared to pray. He also hits on ways we can be a blessing or a discouragement to brothers and sisters in the congregation with us by things as simple as the volume of our prayer. Next week Jeremy and Teddy will continue the series by seeking to answer the question: What if my church doesn't have a prayer service? How can I help get one started as a pastor? How can I encourage my pastor to start one?

Recently some of our team members listened to a sermon series preached by Jeremy Walker on the corporate prayer service. We were so blessed by it that we wanted to share it with you. But Jeremy preached those sermons for his own church where there is already a foundational understanding of the purpose and focus of the corporate prayer service. To better help our audience, we thought it would be beneficial for Jeremy and Teddy James to have a few discussions to help establish that foundation and answer a few questions that may arise from the sermons. So in some ways this new series will be different than what we have done in the past. For this introductory episode, Jeremy and Teddy are talking in our normal format. Next week we will share the first sermon of Jeremy's series. The following episode will be Jeremy and Teddy again in our normal format. And the final episode will be Jeremy's second sermon. We are excited about this series and pray it is a blessing to you.
