He's also Directer of Prayer for Holy Trinity, Brompton (you know, the church where Alpha came from).

| 0:00.0 | Nomad, Christian community, mission and the future of the church. |
| 0:16.0 | Hello and welcome to Nomad podcast. On this month's show, I'll be having a chat about prayer and mission with Pete Gregg. |
| 0:23.9 | And then we will be thinking on what he has said and discussing it together afterwards. |
| 0:46.3 | Our very special guest on this month's Nomad podcast is Pete Gregg, a man synonymous with the 24-7 prayer movement. |
| 0:51.9 | And we usually start these interviews by listing the credentials and qualifications of our guests. |
| 0:55.6 | But let me just say this, Pete Gregg is a man who when you hear him speak, |
| 0:58.3 | if you're a Christian, you kind of wish you weren't a Christian, |
| 1:00.0 | so you could become a Christian again. |
| 1:04.6 | And I have to admit to go into a few ropy Christian conferences over the years that have been transformed into life-changing experiences |
| 1:07.7 | because later in the week, Pete Gregg has popped up as one of the |
| 1:11.5 | speakers. So Pete, it's a real privilege to have you on the show this month. You're very kind, Nick. |

| 1:23.0 | and community and church and things like that. A lot of people will know you as the man who was partly behind the 24-7 prayer movement. So maybe you could just tell us a little bit about |
| 1:32.9 | how that whole thing came about. Sure, yeah, I'd planted two churches. There were |
| 1:39.0 | submissional communities, relatively experimental. We were focusing on youth and students and meeting in bars and so on. |
| 1:48.0 | And kind of people were interested in what we were doing. This is before people kind of were talking a lot about |
| 1:55.0 | missional community or even church planting. And you know I was being invited to go and speak at conferences and things |
| 2:02.8 | like that because we had DJs leading worship and whatever. But something became deeply |
| 2:08.0 | dissatisfied in my soul. I think it was simply that my own spiritual experience was shallow. |
| 2:15.4 | And I just realized that the key issue was prayer. I needed to learn to stop |
| 2:22.1 | outsourcing prayer and get to know God for myself and learn to hear his voice for myself and |
| 2:27.4 | stop surfing off everybody else's stories. And this is someone who'd planted two churches |
