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.
