How Prayer Works is ultimately a mystery – yet God invites us to participate in this practice!  Typically, God works in identifiable patterns.  This podcast seeks to identify those patterns and answer in part the question: “How Does Prayer Work”  There are many implications of these patterns for the proclamation of the gospel, the birth and strengthening of the church, and the transformation of civil society. Join Dan and his guests as we explore together the treasures of the kingdom revealed through prayer.

  2. Should I Stay or Should I Go?

    Should I Stay or Should I Go?

    This question was not first asked by the British band "The Clash" in their 1982 hit song, but one hundred years earlier by a 20 year old Hudson Taylor. He was wrestling with what God's will was. This episode looks at a challenging part of the Lord's Prayer, "not my will by Yours be done", and practical steps for understanding it today.  Don't forget to follow on social media, check out our webpage (praypatterns.ca) or reach out to us at patternsstrategy@gmail.com.
