Prayer is essential. Prayer is God's idea. Prayer is the primary means by which God involves His children in what He wants to do in His world. Prayer was a primary focus of the best church ever—the apostolic church, as in Acts 2:42. Yet our prayer meetings are often boring, poorly attended, and unexciting ... when they ought to be one of the most exciting times of our lives. Guest show host Tim Brown interviews the Bill Holdridge of Poimen Ministries on this intriguing and hopefully helpful subject. "Lord, teach us to pray!"

Jim Thomas has the gift of leadership, and is a leader. When a major opportunity presented itself to him, the Lord used him to make the most of it.
