This week's Sentinel Watch podcast 

A primer on prayer

August 14 to 20

Guest: Nate Frederick

Whether you turn to God first thing or as a last resort in times of trouble, there’s always more to learn about prayer. Our guest this week, Nate Frederick, has learned that healing prayer is not asking God to change things, but understanding more about God and allowing that understanding to change us.

Praying for our world

Meeting relentless conflict with unrelenting prayer

As a protracted war in Eastern Europe and conflicts and general unrest elsewhere drag on, praying for a peaceful end to hostilities can require persistent effort. Relentless conflict, in our own lives or the world, calls on us for unrelenting prayer.
