The Limitless Leadership Podcast is a conversation covering key youth ministry topics, designed to help Youth Leaders Connect, Think & Grow.
We’ve all been there. That moment when you invite young people to pray and all that follows is an awkward silence and a single tumbleweed! 😅 So what can we do to equip young people for a vibrant life of prayer? 🤔
We sat down with Martin Saunders, author of Signal Fire: A Guide to Putting Prayer into Practice, to ask just that.👌
We cover a lot of ground in this conversation, including…
… our natural instinct to pray ✅
… how to create environments where praying together feels engaging and vibrant ✅
… how to help young develop a healthy, consistent, and life-giving discipline of private prayer ✅
… common obstacles to pray and how to overcome them ✅
… how to confront spiritual apathy ✅
… practical tools for praying with young people ✅
and loads more!
This is a conversation that is both inspiring and actionable in equal measure. It will stop your mind and affect your practice! 🙏
Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever else you listen. 🎧 Enjoy!
What does it look like for us to stand in the gap on behalf of others in prayer? 🙏This is what we call ‘intercession,’ and to explore this dimension of prayer we sat down with experienced intercessor June Freudenberg. After exploring some of her personal story, we discuss…
… defining intercession ✅
… how to step into intercessory prayer ✅
… the role of discernment in intercession ✅
… developing a prayer strategy ✅
… equipping young people for intercession ✅
… building our capacity in prayer ✅
and loads more!
This is not a conversation with someone who has read a few books on prayer, but someone for whom this has been woven deeply into the thread of their every day life for decades. So come prepared for an impartation! 🙌

Fasting is one of the most overlooked, under-practiced, yet spiritually potent and indispensable disciplines of the spiritual life.

Prayer is meant to be a dialogue rather than a monologue. 🗣 But for so many of us, that’s more in theory than in practice! 😬 So how do we hear from God and help our young people to do the same?
