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! 🙏

“It’s impossible to really grow in vitality in my walk with God, without the element of fasting.” - James Aladiran

Fasting is one of the most overlooked, under-practiced, yet spiritually potent and indispensable disciplines of the spiritual life. So what happened? 🤷‍♂️ How did this practice, once so central in the life of Jesus and his followers, get sidelined in his church? And what is the power of fasting in our lives and ministries today? 🤔

To discuss these big questions, we’re joined by the dynamic leader of Prayer Storm, James Aladiran. 🔥 We cover a lot of ground in this short conversation, including… 

… defining fasting ✅

… the difference between fasting and abstinence ✅

… why fasting has been sidelined in our lives and ministries ✅

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?

Tania drops so much wisdom for us here as we discuss…
