What happens when one man devotes his whole life to prayer? In this episode, Kaleb Allen shares the story of John Hyde—known as “Praying Hyde”—a missionary to India whose hidden life with God shook nations. Hyde’s devotion wasn’t loud or public, but it was deep, consistent, and marked by sacrificial love.

Kaleb weaves Hyde’s story with Scripture, church history, and a connection to Joseph of Arimathea’s tenderness at the cross, inviting Christian men to step into a quiet, faithful life shaped by love, not performance.
If your spiritual life feels tired or distracted, this episode calls you back to where true power begins: in the presence of God.
