Welcome to the P3 Hub Podcast - a show dedicated to exploring Prayer, Power, and Proclamation! In this episode, host Lance Pepler sits down with Andy Peck, a prolific author, seasoned podcaster, and experienced church leader.

Andy shares his personal faith journey, from growing up on the Isle of Wight to realising his need for deeper biblical study, which eventually led him into pastoral ministry. The heart of this episode revolves around the practice of prayer. Andy unpacks what it means to live as an apprentice of Jesus, having a continuous, two-way conversation with God throughout the day. He shares incredible, real-life stories of how following the gentle promptings of the Holy Spirit - even when it felt risky or strange - resulted in life-changing decisions, divine reconnections, and the birth of a unique canal boat bereavement ministry.

Whether you're looking to deepen your prayer life, seeking guidance for a big decision, or just needing the courage to act on the Holy Spirit's promptings, this episode will equip and encourage you!
