Every pastor wants to lead with spiritual depth—but how do we cultivate intimacy with God in the midst of busy leadership?
Tyler Staton, Lead Pastor of Bridgetown Church in Portland and National Director of 24/7 Prayer USA, joins Jason Ballard for a deeply personal conversation on prayer, consecration, and spiritual formation. Tyler shares how his teenage experiences with prayer shaped his calling, what it meant to plant Oaks Church in Brooklyn, and how he’s now leading Bridgetown into a deeper rhythm of presence and intercession.
Tyler reflects on:
Starting a prayer movement in middle school
Planting and pastoring in New York City
Building a culture of prayer through stretch and recovery rhythms
The call to consecration and holiness in leadership
Why abiding must come before output in ministry
We hope this episode renews your vision for leading from the secret place.
