Episode 124 - Warriors Arise

Israel is the only country in the world where a higher percentage of men say they engage in daily prayer than women, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center.

In the United States, even among those who are religiously unaffiliated, 20% say they pray daily. Women (64%) are more likely than men (46%) to pray every day. And Americans ages 65 and older are far more likely than adults under 30 to say they pray daily (65% vs. 41%).

Women are more religiously devout than men even though they are excluded from positions of leadership in many faiths and denominations. According to the respected Pew Research Center, 83.4% of women around the world identify with a faith group, compared with 79.9% of men – a difference of about 97 million people.

Why is prayer so important in the life of the believer? How does prayer glorify God? Is it acceptable to repeatedly pray for the same thing?

This week we welcome Holly Hoyer, Kim McIntire, and Amber Sampson on the show and together we discuss all of this and more.

They are part of a group that is putting on a prayer conference for women in Branson, MO at the Keeter Center at College of the Ozarks on August 4-5, 2023. Conference times are Aug 4 from 6-9 pm CST and Aug 5, 9 am - 12 pm CST. Tickets are still available.

Make plans to attend this awesome conference!
