In this episode of Advancing the Cause, we uncover the true powerhouse behind gospel ministry—not programs, not strategies, but prayer. Drawing from the powerful example of Charles Spurgeon’s “boiler room” and the weighty testimony of Scripture, we explore eight critical ways every church, ministry, and pastor needs prayer to fulfill the mission of Christ. From preparation and preaching to spiritual warfare and leadership, prayer is not a support activity—it is the work. We’ll look to the wisdom of men like Spurgeon, Robert Murray M’Cheyne, and E.M. Bounds, and we’ll walk through key texts from 1 Corinthians, Ephesians, Acts, and more. Whether you’re a pastor, church leader, or faithful believer, this episode will stir your heart to pray and to prioritize prayer as the fuel of God’s mission.
