This five-episode series helps leaders refocus their lives around prayer, so they can be sustained in the long journey of ministry, lead their teams from a place of dependence on God, and cultivate churches shaped by prayer, rest, and the presence of Jesus.
Discovering that the oldest prayers are often the most sustaining ones, and that the Psalms can feed your soul in seasons when your own words have run out.
Listening
Learning to come to God with everything, the grief, the anger, the confusion, and waiting long enough to hear him respond.
Honesty
Discovering that bringing your rawest, most broken self to God – doubt, grief, and all – doesn't drive Him away. It's what draws us closer to Him.
Dependence
:earning that operating beyond your natural capacity isn't a problem to solve, it's an invitation to pray without ceasing.
Discernment
Leading and making decisions from prayerful presence rather than pressure or productivity.
Meet Your Hosts
Together, Tyler Staton and Lee McDerment offer honest conversations that move prayer from an idea into a lived reality.
