In today’s episode, Jess is joined by Pete Greig to talk about prayer. Pete shares how modelling an authentic prayer life shapes children’s faith more than anything we say and why helping children hear God for themselves builds a real, lasting relationship with Him. Together, they explore how bringing prayer into everyday moments helps children recognise God at work in all of life.
Pete Greig is the bewildered founder of the 24-7 Prayer movement, an award-winning author of ten books and a co-host of the much-loved daily devotional Lectio 365. He and his wife Sammy, a professional counsellor, are Founding Pastors of Emmaus Rd church, co-hosts of the Wildfires Festival, and proud parents to two adult sons.

S14 Bonus: After Spring Harvest - What Next?
mardi 31 mars 2026 • Durée 28:46
We normally take a break from the podcast over the holidays but today we’re bringing you a bonus of something a little bit different. Anna Hawken speaks to Martha Shrimpton from Spring Harvest about how we capture what’s great and build on the momentum of weeks like Spring Harvest. Martha is an actor, presenter and author who has worked within creative arts for many years. She is the director of Nimbus Collective, which encourages individuals, families and churches to connect with God in creative ways. She also works as the Creative Coordinator at Spring Harvest and leads The Big Start. Listen in whether you’re attending Spring Harvest or another festival or camp this year or not, as there are ideas that will work for everyone.
With a healthy dollop of realism and a lot of laughter, Anna and Martha explore how to:
Notice what God did (and is still doing...)
Keep the conversation going
Bring it into everyday life
