What does it look like to lead with humility, pray with persistence, and stay faithful in a time of shaking?

In this episode, Pete Greig—founder of the 24-7 Prayer movement—joins Jason Ballard for an honest and hope-filled conversation about leadership, transition, and the surprising beginnings of a global prayer movement. Pete reflects on what it means to release control, remain rooted in the local church, and respond to the Spirit’s work in this cultural moment.

They talk about:

The bewildering origins of 24-7 Prayer
Why global movements must stay anchored in the local church
Navigating leadership transition with grace and maturity
The Spirit’s invitation to personal holiness and renewal

This is a deeply pastoral conversation for leaders longing to lead with both conviction and tenderness in the days ahead.
