You need to knock on the door of heaven and come to me in a way that by earthly standards, if you were coming that way to another human being, it would be considered rude.

They might call the cops on you.

But Jesus is going, "That's the way I want you to come to me in the place of prayer."

Mm.

Today, I'm, I'm super stoked for this conversation, to be honest, uh, because we have Kristi Walsh in the room.

Welcome back to the podcast, Kristi.

Thanks.

It's been a while.

Good to be here.

Well, we're gonna launch in.

Yeah.

Uh, and I know that this is a topic that is dear to your heart-

It is

... and dear to our community.

Yeah.

Uh, which is the topic of persevering prayer.

Yeah.

I, I love that you're carrying this message-

Mm-hmm

Obviously leading out the Furnace Prayer Room, or what was THOP.

Yeah.

Tauranga House of Prayer for how many years has it been running now? 20-

20

... one? 22?

20.

20 years.

20.

20 years of praying and contending.

20 years, actually, THOP started Waitangi Day 2006, so we are just day, within days, at the time of recording, within days of 20-year anniversary.

How good.

I know.

That's powerful.

You blink-

So you live this message out

... and 20 years goes by.

Yeah.

It's crazy.

Yeah.

That's awesome.

Yeah.
