Here Is What You've Missed in 2025….
Articles, Podcasts, and Books about Prophetic Worship, Unity in the Church, Presence-Centered Communities, and How to Lead Praying Churches
We know that life is busy, and you can easily lose awareness of God’s presence in the midst of the chaos. We want to help you experience more of the presence of God because we believe God’s presence changes everything. We hope the resources below will help!
We have so many encouraging and helpful articles in our growing Presence Pioneers Media archive, with our most-read article of 2025 so far being The Baby and the Bathwater: Sifting Through IHOPKC Teachings & Practices.
The current season of the Presence Pioneers podcast is focused on the topic of “Presence-Centered Communities.” Each episode features conversations about the biblical foundations and practical outworking of putting God’s presence at the center of our lives, churches, and cities.
Two big themes for PPM this year have been unity in the Church and leadership resources for building houses of prayer. Below are some of the resources we have released on these topics.
Pursuing Unity in the Body of Christ
In tandem with the release of Jonathan Friz’ new book, Jesus Gets What He Prays For, we have been exploring what it means to pursue and experience unity and oneness as the body of Christ. We published two excerpts from the book (here’s one and here’s another), and a two-part interview with Jonathan on the podcast (part one and part two).
Here’s a quick quote from Jonathan:
John 17 unity begins with John 13 humility (John 13:1-17).
Jesus, rising from His seat at the head of the table, removes his glorious outer garment and replaces it with a towel, wrapping it around his waist. He pours water into a basin and washes His disciples’ feet. The one through whom all things were created washes the feet of His creatures. He washes the feet of His weak friends, men who in a few hours will abandon and deny Him. He even washes Judas, His betrayer.
After, he removes the towel, puts on his outer garments, and returns to his place at the head of the table. He asks a question: “Do you know what I have done for you?”
He has given them an example. He is their Lord and Master. He is much greater than them, and yet He served them in the humblest way imaginable. The conclusion is that they, who are much lower than Jesus, ought to serve one another in the same way….

Helping Church Leaders Host Day and Night Prayer
Many of you are leaders in praying churches and presence-centered ministries. We want to do our best to equip you to not only experience God’s presence but to host God’s presence in your local context.
This is why we published the How To Build A House of Prayer Handbook by Brad Stroup. This is why we have spent most of our bonus podcast episodes in 2025 asking leaders for wisdom regarding how to lead presence-centered communities. These podcast episodes are full of leadership gold.
