Dan opens a podcast recording with a prayer asking God to guide the conversation with Ghenere, protect the equipment and families involved, and use their words to encourage believers and challenge non-believers.
Dan, do you feel like praying for us and opening our time together? Would that be good?
I would love to.
Awesome. I love that too.
Father, thank you for this day. This is the day you've made and we rejoice and we're glad in it. We're thankful to you that we get to do this together. Record this conversation, connect with Chenier and help spread the gospel to those who need to hear. Lord, we pray it would be both an encouragement to the saints and a challenge to those who don't yet know you and that you would use this story as you will to break down barriers in any way. Lord, even just as I was sharing my story last time, things that we say unknowing that they'll connect with others, you by your spirit, use those because other people are dealing with the exact same things. Your Word says that there's no temptation, no test or trial that has taken hold of us, except that which is common to others. So we know that Gennar's story will connect and we, as Amanda has just said, we can just enjoy the conversation because we know that you will apply it as you desire. Lord, it is in Jesus name that we are unified as brother and sisters in Christ, as fellow ministers of reconciliation, as your servants. And it is in Jesus name that we resist the enemy and any schemes that he has against us. For this podcast, we pray your protection, your loving guidance and provision over Geniere and Garvin and Laurie and Gennar's brother and sister. We pray your protection over the Thompson family and the Stute family. And we pray that and just consecrate ourselves and this equipment to you. And we ask it all in the precious and powerful name of Jesus. Amen.
