# # The Power of Prayer with Jonny Maxy

What does it really mean to be a people of prayer?

In this episode of It’s Time for Agape, we’re joined by special guest Jonny Maxcy for a conversation about prayer—not simply as something we do, but as an essential part of our relationship with God.

Together, we talk about seeking the Lord, learning to listen for His voice, trusting Him when answers don’t come the way we expect, and discovering how prayer changes us as we draw near to Him.

Whether prayer has been a lifelong rhythm for you or you’re learning how to pray in a deeper way, we hope this conversation encourages you to seek Jesus, remain in His presence, and believe in the power of a praying people.

Prayer isn’t just about bringing our requests to God—it’s about knowing the One we’re praying to.

Agape First Ministries is heading to the Philippines!

In this episode of It’s Time for Agape, we sit down with members of the team preparing to travel to the Philippines to hear how God opened this door, what they will be doing while they are there, and why this opportunity matters.

We talk about the challenges churches and ministry leaders are facing surrounding sexuality, gender, identity, and discipleship—and how Agape First hopes to come alongside the local Church with biblical truth, practical equipping, and the hope of transformation found in Jesus Christ.

But this trip is about more than traveling across the world or putting on ministry events. It is about answering the call to go—to strengthen the Church, proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and carry the hope of Jesus beyond our own communities and into the nations.

Join us as we hear the heart behind this mission, what the team is praying for, and how you can pray for Agape First as they prepare to go.

In today’s episode, Nate and the team are joined by special guest Ben Crowninshield for a powerful conversation about transformation, surrender, and following Jesus.

Ben has previously shared part of his journey through transition and detransition in an earlier episode in the year, but today, he talks about where God is leading him now. Hear how the Lord has been working in Ben’s life, what He has been teaching him, and how Ben is using his story to point others toward the hope and truth found in Jesus Christ.

Ben also shares about **Back to Ben Ministries**, and his desire to encourage others who are wrestling with identity, transition, detransition, and what it means to surrender every part of our lives to Christ.

This episode is a reminder that our past does not have the final word. God is still writing the story—and when we surrender our lives to Him, He can redeem even the most difficult chapters for His glory.

Join us for an encouraging conversation about identity, redemption, obedience, and the transforming power of Jesus.

In this powerful episode, Kandese shares her personal testimony of how Jesus met her in the middle of her brokenness, confusion, and searching—and lovingly began calling her back to Himself.

Kandese’s story is one of surrender, transformation, and the patient pursuit of the Good Shepherd. She shares honestly about her journey, the things she once believed about herself, and what happened when she began allowing the truth of God’s Word to speak louder than her feelings, fears, and past.

Her journey ultimately brought her from New Jersey to Minnesota, where she publicly declared her faith in Jesus through baptism with the Operation 100th Sheep team.

This conversation is a reminder that no one is too far away, no story is too complicated, and Jesus is still pursuing His sheep.

Come hear Kandese tell her story—in her own words—and discover what can happen when we finally say, “Jesus, I surrender.”
