Every great movement of God starts with prayer. In 2023 we are nowhere close to a move of God, but we have certainly seen God move and all this is due to the church falling to its knees in prayer.

Josh Branham interviews Derek Murphy on cultivating church health, trends in the church planting world, the importance of discipleship to the next generation of leaders, and how church leaders can build a culture of prayer in their community and their cities.
