Soul Care:
The Intersection of Word and Prayer in the Life of a Leader
Rich, deep, saturation of Prayer and God’s Word. The 2020 NextGen Leaders conference will be devoted to exploring the intersection of Prayer and Word, specifically between the space of the inner soul and the outer place of ministry.
The beginning of the book of Acts portrays the flourishing of the fledging church. With the explosive growth and attendant needs, the apostles wisely saw the profound need to orient and ground their priorities. The reorientation provides a remarkable, yet simple clarity. Such simple priorities are ones we all need in our lives.
In Acts 6 the Apostles note the care of widows must be attended to by younger, godly servants. Then the apostles pivot the discussion to give us their essential leadership priorities. Namely, attending to Prayer and the ministry of the Word.
The apostles located their participation in Jesus’ mission as faithfulness in the ways of Prayer and the ministry of Jesus’ Word. All further development and strategy hinged up rightly handling the Word of the gospel and rightly practicing the language of Prayer.
Simple. Yet, so very profound.
