121. Listening Prayer & Praying Over People (with Mike Hicks)
What if prayer wasn’t just talking to God—but listening with Him for the people and spaces you’re called to love? 💭
In this week’s episode, Jesica sits down with Mike Hicks, retired high school teacher, author of Roots of Apathy, and Director of Lift America for Christian Educators, where he shares his powerful approach to Listening Prayer—a way of hearing God’s heart for students, colleagues, and classrooms that’s rooted in abiding, authenticity, and obedience. Mike reminds us that prayer isn’t about formulas or algorithms—it’s about relationship. He teaches us how to abide in Jesus (John 15:7), ask honest questions, and listen for Spirit-taught words that reveal the Father’s heart.
You’ll hear:
✨ How to posture your heart to hear the Shepherd’s voice (John 10:27)
✨ The difference between your own thoughts and the Spirit’s whisper
✨ Real stories of how God has led Mike to pray specifically over students, staff, and events
✨ A simple process to ABIDE first, LISTEN with honesty, and FOLLOW with obedience as you pray over your own classroom
✨ God still speaks—and when we pause to listen, He gives us words that release blessing, healing, and breakthrough.
Scriptures Mentioned:
John 10:27 – “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”
John 15:7 – “If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”
Matthew 7:7–8 – “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”
2 Timothy 1:7 – “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
