A 1-minute strategy that can have huge impacts on the culture of prayer in your ministry

In January I was at the meetings of America’s National Prayer Committee. This is the group that helped found the National Day of Prayer. There are prayer leaders from all sorts of denominations and prayer ministries. This year there was about 60 in attendance.

As part of this event we took about a day and a half to discuss strategy for helping raise up prayer across the country.

In one of these discussions the conversation turned to a simple win for pastors and church leaders in raising up and training prayer in a church. These leaders were talking about the pastoral prayer. On a Sunday morning (or any church gathering) when the pastor goes to microphone to pray it is one of the great modeling moments for the church.

Not Just For Super Christians Is Finally Here

Cover Thumbnail

I remember walking through Epcot in Orlando Florida about 6 years ago and thinking about this moment. I have been working toward this moment since then.  And now it has arrived.  What I am really most excited about is the possibility for you. I have traveled around the country and around the world and too many Christians I meet are living a boring Christianity.

Do you think Christianity is made up of Super-Christians and then the rest of us? There are those “special” people who have it all together and get to “do the stuff” and have adventure with God. Are you one of those “ordinary” people who love Jesus, but have resigned yourself to a boring routine of the regular? Do you leave the rest of it to those who get up in the morning and fly off with the assignment that God gives to them. This book is designed to change that for you forever. It begins with a time machine.

Imagine for a moment that you have a time machine. It is set up in your house and you bring people out from the past to interview for a podcast that you are the host. For the next 30 days you get to have that time machine as you work through this book. Each day someone from the Bible will sit down with you as you discover what adventure with Jesus can really look like. You get to draw out principles that you can use to have your own adventure.

Well finally this book is available today!! Let me encourage you to buy one for you and a friend to go through this adventure together. You may only be 30 days away from a whole different walk with Jesus. Commit right now to a heart pounding and fulfilling life you were designed for. Take the plunge today.
