“...the word of the Lord tested him.” (Psalm 105:19) God, purify our faith through testing that we might learn to trust You more. #praytheword radical.net/podcasts/pray-…

I wish you could meet these brothers and sisters. This mission field has become a mission force. From whatever nation we’re from as followers of Jesus, let’s lock arms and give our lives to reaching all the nations together for the glory of Jesus.

You don’t necessarily have to take a trip to reach unreached people. God, open our eyes to the opportunities we have to share Jesus with people from unreached nations in our own neighborhoods.

“Yet he saved them for his name’s sake…” (Psalm 106:8) God, teach us to pray for all things ultimately for Your name’s sake. #praytheword radical.net/podcasts/pray-…

Could our desire for quick success stories and impressive reporting numbers actually be keeping people around the world from hearing the gospel? Making our lives count by making Jesus known in the world requires patient resolve on all of our parts.

A gospel that’s not worth dying for is a gospel that’s not worth living for. Pray for freedom from the idolatry of safety in your life. And for those who are daily sacrificing safety for the spread of the gospel where it hasn’t gone.

John the Baptist ate a diet of locusts and wild honey (Matthew 3:4). I’m thinking some honey would have been really helpful on top of whatever insect I just put in my mouth. :)

“Whoever is wise…let them consider the steadfast love of the Lord.” (Psalm 107:43) God, we pray for wisdom to view everything that happens to us and around us through the lens of Your steadfast love. #praytheword radical.net/podcasts/pray-…

If we actually believe the Bible, we’ll leave behind this brand of Christianity we’ve created that’s content to essentially ignore over 3 billion in the world who’ve never heard the gospel. So the question is: do we actually believe the Bible?

A plea to pastors and church leaders: We have not just the opportunity, but the responsibility (and the privilege) to turn this picture of red zones upside down.
