From a party-driven life in Scotland to leading a regional prayer movement in the Pacific Northwest, Bill Richardson’s journey is a story of encounter, transformation, and calling.

In this episode of Origin Impact, Bill shares how a simple prayer in his bedroom at age 19 led to a powerful encounter with Jesus that removed his fear of death and set him on a completely new path. After years in sales and business, God redirected his life toward ministry, eventually bringing him from Scotland to the United States.

Now serving as Director of the Light of the World Prayer Center in Bellingham, Washington, Bill is passionate about mobilizing churches in unified prayer and believes we are witnessing one of the greatest spiritual awakenings in history.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Overcoming church hurt and hypocrisy
• The power of persistent prayer
• Why prayer feels difficult for many Christians
• The importance of humility and repentance
• What God may be doing in America right now

If you’ve ever wrestled with prayer, doubted the church, or wondered how God works behind the scenes — this episode will encourage and challenge you.

Origin Impact is where we talk with leaders in business, politics, and faith about the moments that shaped them — and the impact they’re making today.
