Revival X Podcast - Prayer-Diven vs. Worship-Driven Churches: The Great Debate

Revival X Podcast - Prayer-Diven vs. Worship-Driven Churches: The Great Debate

In my early years of ministry, I was never asked about my prayer life or intercession strategies when interviewing for open church staff positions. 

Many pastors (thankfully, not all) are uncomfortable in the prayer room and will either eliminate it from the culture of the church or minimize it to something less threatening. At best you'll find a group of faithful warriors praying in a glorified janitor's closet down a dark hallway in the church prior to the service. The pastor doesn't typically lead the meeting, much less attend it or even promote it.

If worship is strong and teaching is effective and other ministries are growing, all is well. Sure, they may say prayers at times, but a firehouse of burning intercession is a foreign concept.
