Pray the Word with David Platte is a resource from radical.net.

As this Pray the Word episode begins, I want to give a little heads up on kind of a different

direction we're going to take over the next month in Pray the Word episodes.

And I hope this will be applicable, helpful, even for those of you who are followers of Jesus
