The Christian Podcast Community

On this episode of The Caleb Gordon Podcast, I had the opportunity to sit down again with Coach Matt Hennesy and catch up on how life and leadership have been going since arriving in Bartlesville.

We had a meaningful conversation about the responsibility of developing young men not only into better athletes on the field, but into strong men of character off the field as well. We also discussed the importance of teamwork, leadership, accountability, and the critical role a supportive spouse and healthy family life play in long-term success.

Coach Hennesy brings a thoughtful perspective on leadership, culture, and investing in the next generation, and I truly believe this conversation will encourage parents, coaches, leaders, and anyone passionate about helping young people grow with purpose and discipline.

I hope this episode challenges and encourages you.

In this episode of the Bold Apologia Podcast, we continue our examination of When Heaven Invades Earth by Bill Johnson with an episode titled, “When Power Shapes Prayer.” What happens when prayer slowly shifts from dependence on God to the pursuit of breakthrough, authority, and spiritual activation? Is prayer primarily about communion with the Father, or has it become a mechanism for enforcing heaven’s realities onto earth? In this episode, we walk carefully through Chapter 5, “Praying Down Heaven,” using Bill Johnson’s own words while testing every claim against Scripture. This is not about caricatures or cheap attacks. It is about asking whether our theology of prayer is being shaped more by power than by the pattern Jesus Himself gave us.
We examine concepts like “praying until breakthrough,” “seeing from heaven’s perspective,” commanding mountains, spiritual authority, and the idea that “you only have authority over the storm you can sleep in.” Along the way, we compare these teachings with the prayers of Jesus, Paul, the Psalms, and the suffering saints of Scripture. Biblical prayer is bold, but it is also dependent. It is faith-filled, but also submissive. And if power becomes the lens through which we interpret prayer, eventually prayer itself begins to change shape. Listen now and join the conversation.
