In this episode of the P3 Hub Podcast, host Lance Peppler sits down with Amy Boucher Pye - a London-based author, speaker, and spiritual director who has spent her career helping people find the sacred in the ordinary. Amy shares the inspiration behind her book, 7 Ways to Pray, and unpacks how we can make ancient Christian prayer practices accessible in our modern, fast-paced world. From dealing with the fear of "getting God's voice wrong" to the critical importance of slowing down, Amy offers profound, grace-filled wisdom for anyone looking to deepen their conversational relationship with the Creator.

Key Takeaways & Highlights:

• Meet Amy (01:38): Amy shares her faith journey, from growing up in Minnesota to cementing her faith in her 20s and moving to the UK, discovering God as her maker, creator, and companion.

• 7 Ways to Pray (03:54): Amy discusses her book, which distills the wisdom of early church mothers and fathers. She explains how practices like Lectio Divina, the prayer of lament, and imaginative prayer are actually invitations to let God run toward us.

• What is Prayer? (07:23): Stripping away the complicated theology, Amy defines prayer simply as "speaking to God and waiting to hear God respond" - a continuous, loving conversation with our Creator.

• Hearing the Holy Spirit (09:35): Amy shares her personal method of praying through scripture by writing "prose poems" and making space to actively listen to what the Holy Spirit is highlighting.

• The Fear of Getting it "Wrong" (10:51): Amy shares a relatable story about mishearing God and why making mistakes in hearing the Holy Spirit is actually a vital part of our spiritual education. As one Christian leader beautifully put it: "It’s better to preside over a kindergarten than a graveyard."

• The Power of Slowing Down (16:03): In an age driven by AI and constant speed, Amy and Lance discuss why the Church must be a place to slow down, and how attending prayer retreats can help us detox from the rush and tune into God.

• Stories of Answered Prayer (17:08): Amy shares two powerful stories of God moving: her brother's journey with severe health issues and finding a job, and the inspiring way Bishop Andrew Watson (Bishop of Guildford) embraced a terminal cancer diagnosis with grace and an open heart to Jesus.

In this episode of the P3 Hub Podcast, host Lance Peppler sits down with Anthony Bligh, the Youth Minister at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Pyrford. Anthony shares his personal journey from growing up as a "wild child" in his local church in Bookham to answering the call to full-time youth ministry.

Diving deep into the "P" of Prayer, Lance and Anthony unpack what it actually means to have a two-way conversation with God. Anthony shares the practical "Be Still" method he uses with his youth group to clear mental clutter, filter out distractions, and actively listen to the Holy Spirit. If you have ever struggled to discern if a thought is genuinely God's voice or just your own mind, this episode is packed with biblical, actionable wisdom to help you anchor your prayer life in truth.

Key Takeaways & Highlights:

• [02:20] Anthony’s Journey: Growing up at Bookham Baptist Church, starting as a volunteer youth leader at 17, and taking the leap into full-time ministry.

• [07:15] Redefining Prayer: Moving beyond a one-way list of requests to an interactive communion with God, mirroring how God walked with humanity in Genesis 2.

• [09:00] The "Be Still" Practice: Anthony shares his simple, three-step method to quiet the mind: clear the room of distractions, write down wandering thoughts to get them out of your head, and intentionally ask, "God, I'm here and listening. What do you want to say to me?"

• [11:00] Discerning God’s Voice: How do you know if it's God speaking? Anthony explains that God's voice often lingers, aligns perfectly with Scripture (like our identity as adopted children in Ephesians 1), and is ultimately uplifting and encouraging—never harmful or degrading.

• [14:00] The Mystery of the Spirit: Lance shares a vulnerable story about his father (Dr. Christopher Peppler) receiving a vague word from God (the word "maybe" and a reading from Isaiah 8), reminding us that we must be open to how the Holy Spirit chooses to communicate.

• [15:15] The Power of Community: Why it’s crucial to surround yourself with godly friends who can help you test, interpret, and validate the promptings you receive.

About the Guest:
Anthony Bligh is the Youth Minister at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Pyrford, Surrey. With a passion for guiding young people in their relationship with God and their personal development, Anthony brings a genuine, relatable, and deeply biblical approach to discipleship and prayer.

This is a special longer version of the P3 Hub podcast where we delve in P3 - Prayer, Power & Proclamation with the author of the book Dr Christopher Peppler.

We unpack why religious formulas and checklists are actually killing our intimacy with God, and how we can align with the supernatural dimension of the Holy Spirit. From exploring the theological concept of kenosis (how Jesus relied completely on the Spirit) to a hilarious and humbling story about "Christopher’s Epistles," this episode will challenge you to stop treating God like a vending machine and step into the high-stakes excitement of following a Person rather than a process.

Key Quotes from the Episode:

• "If Jesus laid aside his abilities and relied solely on the Holy Spirit... then he is our perfect model."

• "I tried everything I knew and I came to the end of myself... It was like a wooden hand on a wooden head. This is not process driven. This is not formulaic."

• "We are called to be faithful sons, not successful magicians."

Questions for Reflection:

• Are you currently following a religious process, or are you following a Person?

• What would change in your daily life if you viewed your faith as a stewardship of power rather than a search for it?

In this episode of the P3 Hub Podcast, Lance sits down with Josh Heather, Pastor of Emmaus Road in Woking. Together, they explore what it truly means to live a supernatural, Spirit-powered reality in the year 2026.

Moving past religious jargon, Josh breaks down prayer as a simple, powerful connection with the Father and shares incredible testimonies of what happens when we combine listening to the Holy Spirit with bold action in our everyday lives - from gym workouts to burger restaurants.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Defining Prayer: Why prayer isn't just a religious duty, but a lifeline of connection and a mechanism to bring Heaven to Earth.

• Sensing the Spirit: Josh demystifies "hearing God." He discusses the concept of the "sanctified imagination" and why we should have more faith in God’s desire to speak than in the enemy's desire to deceive.

• Treasure Hunting: An incredible story about a red t-shirt, a name, and a double-healing miracle in a burger joint that proves God loves to show up in the marketplace.

• The "Salt and Light" Dynamic: How to be "covert" like salt (infiltrating systems with goodness) and "overt" like light (proclaiming truth that cannot be ignored).

  A Manifesto for 2026: Why Christians should reject "doom and gloom" narratives. Josh shares his core value: *"I am allowed to have no hope over any situation that the Lord has no hope over"—*which means there are zero situations without hope.

"Prayer isn't passive; it's about movement, declaration, and seeing the Kingdom of God established here." — Josh Heather

"You can't ignore a dark room that has a light on. It is counter-cultural to that place." — Josh Heather

"If I can possibly hear God and hear the Holy Spirit in a small little way... that would be a small step for me before I step out onto the streets." — Lance Peppler

In this episode, Lance Peppler sits down with Mike Strong, Associate Pastor at Emmaus Road Church in Woking. Moving beyond the theory of the P3 book (Prayer, Power, and Proclamation), this conversation dives deep into the practical reality of living a Spirit-led life.

Mike breaks down what prayer actually is (hint: it’s not just a shopping list), how to distinguish God’s voice from your own thoughts, and why faith is often spelt R-I-S-K. Whether you are struggling to hear the Holy Spirit or looking for the courage to act on what He’s saying, this episode offers practical tools and inspiring stories to help you step out.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Defining Prayer: Moving from a transactional view to an "active relationship with God seeking to bring Heaven to Earth."

• Dwelling vs. Abiding: Understanding the difference between focused time with God (Dwelling) and the continuous awareness of His presence throughout the day (Abiding).

• The "Me vs. God" Exercise: A practical journaling method Mike uses to practice hearing God's voice and testing the prophetic.

• Identity & Design: How Psalm 139 proves we are uniquely wired to communicate with the Holy Spirit.

• Faith is Spelled R.I.S.K.: Why the "win" isn't the outcome, but the obedience. Mike shares a powerful story about giving away his shoes on the London Tube.

• The G.L.O.W. Framework: A simple acronym for daily Christian living:

  • Get with Jesus

  • Love People

  • Open to the Moment

  • Winning is Risking

Notable Quotes:

• "Prayer is a relationship with God... and the fruit of that relationship is the Kingdom of Heaven coming down."

• "We are all uniquely designed by God in order to have a relationship with God."

• "The win of the whole thing isn't that I get it right. The win is that I take the risk."

• "A whisper speaks deep into the soul of man."

Scripture Mentioned:

• Psalm 91: Dwelling in the shelter of the Most High.

• Psalm 139: God’s thoughts toward us outnumber the grains of sand.

• John 10:27: "My sheep hear my voice."

• Exodus 33: Moses desiring God's presence over His gifts.

In this episode of the P3 Hub Podcast, Lance Peppler moves from reading the book to the podcast's very first interview! We are joined by Josh Green, the co-founder and leader of Gen Zeal, a Manchester-based ministry dedicated to equipping the next generation with holy passion, fervent prayer, and bold proclamation.

Josh and Lance dive deep into the reality of living a spirit-powered life. They discuss the difference between prayer as a religious duty versus deep communion with the Father, and Josh shares practical, and sometimes surprising, ways to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit—whether it’s through Scripture, creation, or even the noise of a helicopter!

Later in the episode, Josh shares powerful testimonies of stepping out in faith. From acquiring a ministry building when the maths didn’t add up, to witnessing a "quiet revival" breaking out in local gyms and high schools, this episode is proof that God is moving powerfully in Generation Z right now.

In this episode, we cover:

• Defining Prayer: Why prayer is about "communion" rather than just communication.

• Hearing the Holy Spirit: How to recognize God's voice in your daily life (and why you should look for Him in every situation).

• The 80/20 Rule of Faith: Why it’s worth stepping out even if you get it wrong sometimes.

• Provision & Obedience: The story of the new Gen Zeal building and the principle that "The provision of the Lord is on the pathway of obedience."

• Gen Z Revival: Why the spiritual hunger in the next generation is real, tangible, and happening now.
