In this powerful spoken-word piece, we explore one of Christianity's most debated practices: praying with and through the saints.

Drawing from Scripture across Ephesians, Hebrews, James, and Revelation, this video makes a case that the communion of saints isn't just a creed we recite—it's the living architecture of heaven itself.

We examine how death doesn't sever the Body of Christ, but completes it. How Moses and Elijah appeared with Jesus on the mountain, alive and speaking. How Hebrews describes a "cloud of witnesses" surrounding us. How the early Church Fathers—Polycarp, Cyprian, Chrysostom, Augustine, Jerome—all practiced intercessory prayer with the martyrs and saints who had gone before them.

This isn't about worship. It's about honor. It's about recognizing that if we ask fellow believers on Earth to pray for us (as Paul constantly did), then asking believers in heaven—who are more alive than we are—is simply extending that same biblical practice across the veil.

The video tackles common objections head-on: Is this idolatry? Does it diminish Christ's role as mediator? What about contacting the dead? Each concern is addressed with Scripture, history, and theological clarity.

Whether you agree or disagree, this is a perspective rooted in ancient Christian practice, early Church testimony, and a high view of Christ's unifying work in His Body—a Body that spans both Earth and Heaven.

One family. One communion. One unbroken chain of prayer.
