🙏🏽 Intercessor. Prophet. Prayer Warrior.

We hear these words in church all the time—but do they actually mean the same thing?

Not necessarily.

🎙️ This Saturday on The Porch & The Pulpit, we’re breaking down the differences, where they overlap, and what Scripture teaches about each one.

And here's something we all need to remember:

You don’t need a title to pray.

Sometimes God puts somebody on your heart and your assignment is simply…

🙏🏽 PRAY.

🙏🏽 TEACH US TO PRAY — EPISODE 3
There’s More Than One Kind of Prayer

When you think about prayer, is the first thing that comes to mind asking God for something?

There’s nothing wrong with bringing our needs before God—but prayer is so much more.

In Episode 3 of our Teach Us to Pray series, we’re talking about the different expressions of prayer and what they can look like in our everyday relationship with God.

We’ll explore adoration and worship, thanksgiving, confession and repentance, petition, supplication, intercession, surrender, lament, and corporate prayer.

Sometimes prayer says, “Lord, I need You.”
Sometimes, “Thank You.”
Sometimes, “Forgive me.”
Sometimes, “Help them.”
Sometimes, “Your will be done.”
And sometimes prayer simply says, “God, I’m hurting—but I’m still talking to You.”

📖 Foundation Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:1

Prayer isn’t about memorizing categories or using impressive words. It’s about developing a deeper, fuller conversation with God.

Teach Me How to Pray: Where Do I Start?

Have you ever wanted to pray but didn't know what to say? Maybe you've heard other people pray and thought, “I could never pray like that.”

Here's the good news: God isn't looking for impressive words—He's looking for an honest heart.

In Episode 2 of our Teach Us to Pray series, we're getting practical. We'll look at the prayer Jesus taught His disciples and break down the Lord's Prayer as a pattern for developing our own prayer life.

We'll talk about worship, surrender, bringing our needs before God, forgiveness, guidance, protection, praying Scripture, and what to do when you simply don't have the words.

📖 “Lord, teach us to pray…” — Luke 11:1

Whether you're just beginning your prayer journey or you've been praying for years and want a deeper relationship with God, this conversation is for you.

🙏🏽 You don't have to pray like anybody else. Just start talking to God.

Episode 1 — Why Pray? Understanding the Importance of Prayer

If God already knows what we need before we ask, why do we need to pray?

In the first episode of our “Teach Us to Pray” series, we’re going back to the foundation and talking about what prayer really is. Prayer is more than asking God to fix our problems, open doors, or give us what we need—it is communication, relationship, surrender, and connection with God.

We’ll discuss why Jesus made prayer a priority, how prayer can change us even when our circumstances don't immediately change, and why prayer should be more than something we turn to only during an emergency.

Whether you have prayed for years, struggle to pray consistently, or simply don't know where to begin, this conversation is for you.

📖 Key Scriptures: Matthew 6:6–8 • Philippians 4:6–7 • Jeremiah 33:3 • 1 Thessalonians 5:17 • Mark 1:35

Teach Us to Pray — Episode 1: Why Pray?

Prayer isn't just something we do. It's part of our relationship with God. 🙏🏽❤️

As I celebrate 55 years of life, I'm taking time to reflect on the victories, the disappointments, the prayers God answered, the prayers He didn't answer, the lessons I've learned, and most importantly—the faithfulness of God through it all.

In this episode of The Porch & The Pulpit, we're talking about the importance of self-reflection—not to live in the past, but to learn from it, recognize our growth, and prepare ourselves for where God is taking us next.

💭 Ask yourself:

Where was I a year ago?
How have I grown spiritually?
What has God brought me through?
What do I need to leave behind?
And what is God calling me toward in this next season?

Sometimes we're so focused on where we're trying to go that we forget to thank God for how far we've already come.

📖 "I will remember the works of the Lord..." — Psalm 77:11

Because when you really look back over your life, you just might find yourself saying...

"Look what the Lord has done." 🙌🏾❤️

Life can leave us physically exhausted, emotionally drained, and spiritually empty. In this special summer episode of The Porch & The Pulpit, Sister Cheryl Tyndall Lee and Minister James A. Hunter explore Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11:28–30 to lay down our burdens and find true rest in Him.

Together, they discuss why so many believers struggle with guilt when it comes to slowing down, how Jesus Himself modeled rest, and why Sabbath was never meant to be optional. Through biblical teaching, honest conversation, and practical encouragement, you'll discover that resting isn't stepping away from God—it's drawing closer to Him.

If you've been carrying more than you were ever meant to bear, this conversation is your reminder that Jesus is still saying:

"Come to Me... and I will give you rest."

Scriptures: Matthew 11:28–30, Mark 6:31, Genesis 2:2–3, Exodus 20:8–11, Psalm 23:2–3, Isaiah 40:31 and more.

"What is impartation? Can someone transfer their anointing? What did Elijah really pass to Elisha? In this week's episode of The Porch & The Pulpit, Cheryl and James explore one of the most misunderstood topics in the church today. Join us as we open God's Word and discover the difference between tradition and biblical truth."

Can you recognize the voice of God?

In a time when many people claim to speak for Him, believers must learn how to test what they hear. Cheryl and James discuss prayer, Scripture, spiritual discernment, the role of a prophet, and the warning signs of false prophecy.

This is a conversation every believer needs to hear.

As America celebrates Independence Day, many Black Americans reflect on a more complicated history. While the Declaration of Independence proclaimed that "all men are created equal," millions of enslaved Africans remained in bondage for nearly another century.

In this episode of The Porch and the Pulpit, Cheryl and James explore the history of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, the horrors of chattel slavery, the contradiction between America's founding ideals and the institution of slavery, and what true freedom means from both a historical and biblical perspective. Join us as we have an honest conversation about our nation's past, our faith, and the ongoing pursuit of justice and unity.
