The PRESS Movement Prayer Podcast

Revelation 22 brings the PRESS Prayer Journey through the Bible to its final stop—and it ends with a prayer of hope, expectation, and surrender: “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” #PRESSToPray #PrayerJourney

John is given a vision of what is coming: the river of the water of life, the tree of life, the throne of God, no more curse, no more night, and the promise that God’s people will see His face. Revelation doesn't end with fear. It ends with hope. #Revelation22 #JesusIsComing

Throughout the chapter, Jesus repeatedly reminds John, “I come quickly.” What does that mean for us? Time is moving. Every second is a moment we will never get back, making every moment an opportunity to choose what matters most. #TimeIsShort #BeReady

John's response is the final prayer recorded in Scripture: “Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” It is a prayer that says, “God, we believe You. We trust Your promises. Come and have Your way.” #ComeLordJesus #Amen

Until that day, our prayer is simple: Keep us close. Keep us ready. Keep us faithful. And may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us all. #Prayer #Faith

In this episode of the PRESS Movement Podcast, we journey into Revelation 6 and encounter one of the most sobering prayers in all of Scripture—the cry of the martyrs beneath the altar. These believers were not suffering because of poor choices or unfortunate circumstances. They gave their lives because they refused to deny Jesus Christ. Their prayer is simple but profound: "How long, O Lord?"

The episode challenges the Western perspective of hardship by contrasting everyday inconveniences with the reality that millions of Christians around the world still face persecution, imprisonment, and even death because of their faith. Drawing from biblical history, the book of Acts, and modern examples of persecution, listeners are reminded that following Christ has always carried a cost. 

Rather than leaving us discouraged, Revelation 6 redirects our focus toward prayer. We may never face martyrdom ourselves, but we can faithfully intercede for those who do. Their faithfulness should inspire our obedience, our gratitude, and our commitment to stand boldly for the name of Jesus.

As the PRESS Movement Podcast nears the completion of studying every prayer in the Bible, this episode takes us to one of the most awe-inspiring scenes in all of Scripture—Revelation 4. Rather than a prayer of request, this is a prayer of worship. Standing before the throne of God, the twenty-four elders cast their crowns before Him and proclaim, "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power." 

Ethan Porter walks through the breathtaking imagery of heaven and explains what it truly means for God to be worthy. Worthiness isn't simply admiration—it's recognizing God's unmatched value and responding with complete surrender. Every accomplishment, every victory, every crown ultimately belongs at His feet.

The conversation challenges listeners to consider whether worship is merely something they do or the posture of their lives. Titles, accomplishments, and recognition should never replace humility before God. The elders remind us that the higher we are lifted, the lower we should bow before the One who created all things for His pleasure.

This episode isn't just about what happens in heaven—it invites us to begin living that reality today. Heaven's worship starts here. Every prayer, every act of obedience, and every moment of surrender prepares us to join the eternal chorus declaring:

"Thou art worthy, O Lord."

In this episode of the PRESS Movement Podcast with guest host, De'Shaun Harewood, we examine one of the shortest prayers in Scripture—3 John 2—but discover one of its deepest truths. John's prayer for Gaius is often quoted as a promise of prosperity and health, yet the heart of the prayer is frequently overlooked. John doesn't simply wish success for Gaius; he desires that every area of his life prosper in proportion to the health of his soul. 

Deshaun walks us through John's relationship with Gaius, revealing a man known for his generosity, hospitality, and faithfulness. Yet John reminds him that even good works, ministry, reputation, and earthly success are secondary to spiritual growth. The repeated emphasis throughout the letter is truth. John rejoices not because Gaius is successful, but because he is walking in the truth.

Together, we discuss how easily modern culture chases temporary blessings while neglecting eternal priorities. Degrees, careers, finances, relationships, and achievements all have value, but none are worth sacrificing a healthy relationship with God.

The challenge is simple but life-changing:

Prosper your soul first.

When your soul is healthy, every other blessing can be received in the proper perspective.

In this episode of the PRESS Movement Podcast with guest host Mmabwe Mulawisha, we explore James 5 and discover a powerful truth: God does not waste pain. James encourages believers to endure hardship, pray through affliction, seek healing, and trust God in every season of life. Using Job as an example, the passage reminds us that endurance is possible because God's mercy is greater than our suffering. 

Mambwe shares deeply personal testimony about loss, grief, and learning to trust God through some of life's most difficult moments. Through the loss of her mother and the challenges that followed, she discovered that pain can either drive us away from God or draw us closer to Him. Rather than allowing hardship to destroy her faith, she learned to pray, trust, and build a relationship with God that carried her through the storm. 

The conversation also highlights the importance of personal prayer, spiritual maturity, and allowing God to work in us through both victories and trials. Whether you're afflicted, joyful, sick, struggling, or simply trying to understand what God is doing, James reminds us to pray.

The message is simple but powerful:

Keep praying. Keep trusting. Keep enduring.

Because God knows what it takes to save, strengthen, and sustain you.

In this episode of the PRESS Movement Podcast, we journey into Hebrews 13 with Erin Harris and explore one of the most powerful closing prayers in Scripture. The unknown author of Hebrews concludes a book filled with faith, endurance, sacrifice, and perseverance by pointing believers back to the One who makes it all possible—Jesus Christ. 

Throughout Hebrews, readers are reminded that Jesus is greater than angels, greater than Moses, greater than the priesthood, and the perfect sacrifice for sin. He established a better covenant through His blood and opened the way for believers to receive eternal redemption. The closing prayer reflects all of these themes, asking God to make His people perfect in every good work and equip them to do His will. 

Erin shares her personal testimony of walking away from God, discovering that her own path led only to pain, and finding restoration when she surrendered to God's will. Her story becomes a living example of Hebrews' message: God is able to keep us, transform us, and complete the work He started in us.

This episode reminds us that Jesus isn't merely a solution to our problems—He is the path to becoming who God created us to be.

In this episode of the PRESS Movement Podcast, we explore Paul's prayer in 2 Thessalonians 1 and what it means to be counted worthy of the calling of God. Writing to a church facing persecution and hardship, Paul doesn't promise easier circumstances. Instead, he prays that God would strengthen them, fulfill the work of faith with power, and glorify Himself through their lives. 

Reagan Porter joins the conversation and highlights the importance of remaining steadfast through difficult seasons. Together, we discuss how faith is strengthened before the battle arrives, why testimonies matter, and how God uses the stories of one generation to encourage the next. A powerful reflection on the PRESS Movement itself reminds us that God often uses painful seasons to produce purpose and bring people into our lives that we never knew we would need. 

The episode also examines the tension between temporary suffering and eternal perspective. While culture encourages comfort and self-preservation, Scripture calls believers to endure, trust God's goodness, and remain faithful even when following Christ is difficult.

Ultimately, this prayer reminds us that God's goal is not merely our comfort—it's our transformation, our endurance, and His glory being revealed through our lives.

In this episode of the PRESS Movement Podcast, with guest host Will Irvin, we dive into 1 Thessalonians 3—a powerful reminder that standing strong in faith is rarely easy, but it is always worth it.

Paul writes to believers who are facing pressure, persecution, and opposition simply because they chose to follow Christ. Instead of pretending hardship won’t come, Paul encourages them to stand fast, remain rooted, and remember they are not alone.

One of the most moving themes in this episode is the importance of spiritual community. Paul sends Timothy to check on them because faith was never meant to be fought in isolation.

This episode also delivers a powerful challenge for today’s generation: how do you stay settled in God when culture pulls in the opposite direction?

The answer is found in relationship, conviction, and remembering what God has already done.

One standout line from the episode says it all:

“Why die for a penny when you’ve found something priceless?”

If you’ve ever felt alone in your faith… pressured to compromise… or tired of standing out because you stand for Christ—this episode is for you.

Stay encouraged.
 Stay rooted.
 Stand fast.

Because love makes a difference.
 Prayer makes a difference.
 God hears when we call.

In this episode of the PRESS Movement Podcast, we unpack Paul’s prayer in Colossians 1—a prayer focused on spiritual maturity, endurance, and truly knowing God.

Paul doesn’t pray for comfort. He prays that believers would be filled with the knowledge of God’s will, spiritual wisdom, and understanding so they can walk worthy of the Lord.

This episode explores the difference between knowing about God and actually knowing Him.

Intellectual knowledge isn’t enough. Degrees, theology, and information cannot replace revelation through the Spirit of God. Real understanding comes when the Author explains His own words.

Paul also prepares believers for reality: hardship will come. Longsuffering will come. Patience will be required.

But the instruction is clear:

Have joy anyway.

Because your circumstances do not change what God has already done.

You’ve already been delivered from darkness.
 You’ve already been redeemed.
 You’ve already been forgiven.

This episode is a reminder to keep growing, keep fighting, and keep the main thing the main thing.

And perhaps the most honest prayer of the episode:

“Lord, keep me—even when I don’t feel like being kept.”

In this episode, we explore Paul’s powerful prayer in Philippians 1—a prayer that goes deeper than surface-level faith. Paul doesn’t just pray for love. He prays that love would abound with knowledge and judgment.

Why? Because love alone, without truth and discernment, can lead us in the wrong direction.

True, biblical love is not passive—it is intentional, informed, and aligned with God’s will. It requires understanding who God is and the ability to discern what pleases Him. This kind of love challenges us to grow, to correct, and sometimes to confront—not out of emotion, but out of truth.

Even more powerful is the context: Paul writes this while in chains. Bound physically, yet still praying for others to grow spiritually. That’s real love.

This episode also highlights what it means to live countercultural—especially in environments that don’t reflect God. Real love doesn’t stay silent. It speaks truth. It stands firm. It reflects Christ.

🔥 Love is more than a feeling
 🔥 Love requires truth and discernment
 🔥 Love pushes you to speak, not stay silent
