Markus Watson and Tod Bolsinger unpack the fascinating connection between the Latin roots of “prayer” and “precarious”—suggesting that it’s often in our most uncertain moments that we’re drawn into deeper dependence on God. Together, they explore how precarious situations not only shape our leadership but also form and mature our prayer lives. You’ll also hear practical wisdom on leading others in prayer through times of change and how discernment, rather than just asking God to bless our plans, is central to a healthy approach to leadership.

Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from Jeff Hoffmeyer in Ep. 246: Have We Forgotten to Pray?:

"The Latin word for prayer is the same root for ‘precarious’. So, I think when we're in a precarious situation, God's desire is that we'll be driven to dependence on prayer."

THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

  • Leaders cultivate their prayer lives in the midst of precarious situations.
  • Leaders experience spiritual formation when they become aware of their dependence on God.
  • Leaders guide their congregations into discernment by seeking God’s voice together.
  • Leaders model a deep prayer life by honestly acknowledging their limitations.
  • Leaders resist making plans independently and instead invite God to direct their path.
