This week in our Church Explained series, we dive into Nehemiah 9:1–5 and look at the power of united prayer. Prayer isn’t just something we do between songs and sermons—it’s the heartbeat of the church.

In this message, I share how prayer confronts our condition, connects us to God’s Word, and confirms our unity. Too often we treat prayer like a transaction—put in a request, expect a result. But true prayer isn’t about using God to get what we want; it’s about aligning ourselves with Him and standing together as His people.

If you’ve ever wondered why prayer matters so much, or why we take time to pray together in church, this episode will remind you: a prayerless church may look alive, but it has no pulse. And when prayer unites us, God strengthens us.
