What if the global church has been quietly carrying a secret about prayer — one that’s transforming lives, healing trauma, and even reviving businesses under pressure? In this powerful conversation, Ryan Skoog shares how interviewing over 100 leaders across six continents reshaped his entire view of prayer. From underground house churches to Wall Street boardrooms, these leaders had one thing in common: they built their lives around friendship with Jesus. Learn how persecuted believers, global entrepreneurs, and prayer warriors live out rhythms of intimacy with God that go far beyond the “quiet time.” Hear the raw story of a father crying out for his daughter in the face of spiritual warfare, and the simple practices — like nightly communion and blessing others — that turned everything around. If your prayer life feels dry, fragmented, or professionalized… this might be the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed. 📖 Topics Covered: – The difference between Western productivity and global dependence – Why “wasting time with God” may be the most fruitful thing you can do – How to build a day with God, not just a quiet time – The connection between spiritual authority and friendship with Jesus – Practical prayer rhythms from world leaders and persecuted saints 🎧 Watch the full podcast here: 👉 https://youtu.be/-Oip2Dy0rpc?si=Lg-K1Q26QUdSQfa1 ABOUT THE REMNANT RADIO: 📺 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/@TheRemnantRadio 📧 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER https://www.theremnantradio.com 📚 COURSES & CONFERENCES https://www.theremnantradio.com 💝 SUPPORT OUR MINISTRY: • Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheRemnantRadio • Make a Donation: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=GC2Z86XHHG4X6&ssrt=1686780016992

Forget strategy. Forget celebrity. The greatest move of God in church history is being led by people you've never heard of — and their secret? Prayer. In this eye-opening conversation, Ryan Skoog shares how movements in the most dangerous, unreached, and unresourced parts of the world are exploding with power. Over 15,000 churches planted. Brothel villages shutting down. Persecution met with joy. And none of it driven by slick marketing or leadership hacks — but by desperate, devoted prayer. You’ll hear real stories of martyrs, miracles, and global leaders who model a kind of dependence on the Spirit that puts the Western church to shame. This isn’t just about “revival overseas” — it’s a call to return to the furnace of prayer, and to rediscover the actual engine of church growth. 🔥 Highlights: – Why “1% of giving” goes to where 99% of miracles are happening – The power of prayer in persecuted and unreached nations – Stories that mirror Acts — happening right now – What a secret six-figure study revealed about American Christian leaders – Why the most effective leaders pray more, not less 🎧 Watch the full episode here: 👉 https://youtu.be/-Oip2Dy0rpc?si=Lg-K1Q26QUdSQfa1 ABOUT THE REMNANT RADIO: 📺 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/@theremnantradio 📧 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER https://www.theremnantradio.com 📚 COURSES & CONFERENCES https://www.theremnantradio.com 💝 SUPPORT OUR MINISTRY: • Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheRemnantRadio • Make a Donation: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=GC2Z86XHHG4X6&ssrt=1686780016992
