Prayer Coaching with Doug Small
H
ere in the Carolinas, everyone is watching closely
as the local NFL football team, the Panthers
continue with their undefeated season. Everyone
asks, ‘What is the secret ingredient to winning?’ Could it
be the players, the coach or mere luck?
The same question can be related to prayer. What’s
the secret ingredient to getting your prayers answered?
Is it how you pray, the type of prayer, your heart or just
coincidence?
Prayer is relational and transformational. Much of
our praying is transactional, rather than transformational
– it is doing business with God (petition) or the noble
use of prayer (intercession), in which we do business for
God. The great need is for balance. Let’s discover a new
theology of prayer together.
Personal Prayer Coaching – Level I
A series of weekly calls for seven weeks on TUESDAYS
at 6:45 AM EST. Be challenged in the area of using the
Bible as a prayer book, of making prayer more about the
‘Presence’ of God, center yourself in the love of God as
you pray, learn how ‘heaven is a kind of courtroom’ and
how to offer effective petitions, discover the power of the
uncomfortable middle – intercession, and then look at
transactional-transformation-transcendent prayer. These
simple sessions are changing the prayer perspective of
hundreds of people. The next session of Personal Prayer
Coaching begins in February.
Prayer Coaching – Level II
If you have completed Prayer Coaching – Level I,
experience Level II. It is completely different. Here, we
review, the theology of prayer and prayer structure, the
power of thanksgiving in fueling prayer, how prayer needs
a time and a place, prayer and consecration – the power
of the disciplines, praying scripture – the 2nd round! And
repentance and prayer!
At this level, we are treading deep waters. Complete
Level I, preferably twice, first solo and then as a mentor
to others. This program is scheduled for TUESDAYS at
7:45 AM EST and will begin in February.
Local Church Coaching
You’ve joined the Praying Church Movement! But
you are stuck. Consider a team coaching – series of
calls over 4-6 weeks to encourage and strengthen your
Church Prayer Team. Choose from the following times:
Wednesday at 7:30 AM EST or 5:30 PM EST. This series
will begin in February.
Prayer Leadership Team Consultation
SCHEDULE A TIME with Doug, 30-75 minutes for
your Church Prayer Team. Send a list of your questions/
issues seven to ten days before the consultation. Gather
your team around a computer and join Doug in a live
conference, tailored just for your prayer leadership team.
If you are a member of the Praying Church Movement – the
consultation is free!
