Georgia Clarke - Prayer as Presence


Listen Later

In this episode of the P3 Hub Podcast, Lance Peppler sits down with Georgia Clarke to discuss the transformative power of prayer, the movement of the Holy Spirit in the UK, and the ambitious "2033 Vision" for global evangelisation. Georgia shares her personal journey from a "cultural Catholic" to a passionate evangelist, offering a refreshing perspective on moving away from "productive prayer" toward a life of simply being in God’s presence.

    • Georgia’s Faith Journey: From being "bribed" to go to Mass by her grandmother to a life-changing encounter with the Holy Spirit on the Isle of Wight.

    • The Alpha Mission: How Georgia transitioned from parish youth ministry to a strategic leadership role at Alpha UK.

    • Redefining Prayer: A deep dive into prayer as the "raising of one's heart and mind to God" and the importance of silence and surrender.

    • Hearing the Holy Spirit: Georgia shares two powerful stories of divine prompting—one involving a stranger on the London Underground and a series of "Penny Farthing" sightings that confirmed her life’s direction.

    • The 2033 Vision: Alpha’s goal to reach 100 million people by the 2000th anniversary of the Resurrection.

"A lot of prayer is just letting go, slowing down, and finding rest. God doesn’t use me for a ministry; He blesses me through it." — Georgia Clarke

"The spiritual life is all around us... we can almost get bored because of the monotony of daily life, but the spiritual life is alive." — Georgia Clarke
