Show Notes:52. John Onwucheckwa — Praying Together and Writing on Prayer

As a pastor, I’ve always been struck by the sense of pastoral privilege I have in leading my congregation in prayer. It may be that I feel most like a pastor when I am praying with my congregation.

John Onwucheckwa takes up the topic of corporate prayer in his new book, Prayer: How praying Together Shapes the Church. The book avoids sentimentality or pragmatics to offer a deeply transparent and encouraging call for congregations to pray together.

John joins me on the podcast to talk about what’s wrong with how church often pray and how we can grow in praying together.

  • We couldn’t find her anywhere. Finally found her.… also, Ashley always beats me to posting the good photos.
  • In one month, I submit the draft of my new book, A More Physical Faith, to the publisher, NavPress. My first notes for this book go back to 2024. I share more personally in this book than anything I’ve ever written. Some people write and publish faster, but books usually represent at least 2 to 3 years of work for me. Just wanted to share this milestone. The book won’t be out until next year.
  • Joyeuse Fête des Mères à la meilleure maman qui soit. On t'aime et on a de la chance de t'avoir. Partons en France !
  • Happy early birthday to myself.
  • Hard to beat.
  • There’s a new tour open at Notre Dame in which you can take the stairs up through the bell tower to the roof. Pretty spectacular.
  • Back from France.
