163. What Actually Starts Movements? With Emanuel Prinz, Part 2
In this second part of conversation with Emanuel Prinz—movement practitioner, researcher, and author of What Actually Starts Movements—we go deeper into what truly fuels lasting spiritual movements. While many focus on methods and tools, Emanuel invites us to look upstream—to the hearts and lives of the leaders God uses to spark and sustain movements.
At the core of this episode are two key character traits Emanuel and his team have identified in effective movement catalysts: Hunger for God and Radical Learning. These two qualities, he argues, are not just common traits—they actually predict a leader’s growth trajectory and long-term fruitfulness.
1. Hunger for God
This is more than emotion—it’s a daily, disciplined pursuit of knowing and loving God deeply, often expressed through rich spiritual practices. It’s the foundation from which expectant faith, love, intercession, and boldness flow.
2. Radical Learning
This is a posture of humility and curiosity. Movement leaders actively seek feedback, embrace failure, and adapt. Their teachability enables continual growth in ministry competence and spiritual maturity—even through seasons of disappointment.
Together, these traits mark a sharp contrast between catalytic leaders who continue to grow—and others who, though initially gifted, plateau or decline over time.
We also explore:
The depth of prayer vs. the duration of prayer—what really matters?
How effective catalysts listen to God and pray with faith for fruit
Why spiritual movements are possible in any society—even in the West
The significance of the 2.5% who are spiritually open in every community
The importance of forming small, agile catalytic teams with trust, clarity, and complementary gifting
Learning to discern the few essential things God is calling us to each day—rather than being overwhelmed by busyness
Emanuel reflects on the internal battles many leaders face and the need to give greater attention to the heart of the practitioner.
Looking ahead: Emanuel shares his vision to equip 50,000 catalytic leaders to reach unreached people groups and his hope for the future—rooted in the patience of the Father and the promise that the Kingdom will reach all nations.
🎧 Whether you're a pioneer, leader, or simply someone longing to see God move in new ways—this episode will encourage you to slow down, go deeper, and hold onto the Father’s hand.
"Hold onto the Father’s hand every moment of your life. Remind yourself that the Father is with you. This is a huge confidence booster. It changes everything." – Emanuel Prinz
