This conversation I have with Tim Shuck is one that kept surprising me. Tim is a facilitator with Novo who has walked thousands of ordinary people into praying for others... and what he shares about the prayers that "don't work" is something I think a lot of people need to hear.Tim Shuck is a guide and facilitator with Novo, an organization equipping ordinary people to hear from God and minister to those around them. He's walked over 10,000 people through cohort-based training in listening prayer and Spirit-led ministry.In this conversation, we get into what happens when prayer doesn't go the way you expected, why God seems to touch hearts far more than he touches bodies, how ordinary people are doing extraordinary things when they just dare to say "may I pray for you?"... and so much more.Here's what we explore:▪️ The "botched" prayer that started a years-long relationship with a salty neighbor named Bob — and what God was actually doing▪️ Why 100% of the time God does something when we pray, even when it's not what we expected▪️ How to create space for people who feel spiritually stuck or disconnected — without shame or pressure▪️ Why God speaks in the middle of ordinary life (even Baby Shark sing-alongs)▪️ The humility muscle you have to grow alongside the listening muscle — or things go sideways▪️ What it looks like to be a "supporting character" who finally realizes God wants to use them just as they areChapters:00:00 The Prayer That Didn't Work03:24 Tim's Work with Novo and Ordinary People05:20 What Happens Every Time We Pray, No Matter What07:36 Two Stories — A Healing and a "Botched" Prayer13:08 How a Failed Prayer Became a Years-Long Relationship16:38 Helping People Who Struggle to Connect With God20:09 Why We Get Stuck in Our Heads — and What to Do Instead23:00 How God Speaks in Everyday Life, Not Just Prayer Time26:27 Growing Humility Alongside the Listening Muscle32:16 You Don't Have to Become Anyone Other Than Who You Already AreIf something in this conversation stirred something in you, I'd love for you to sit with it.
