The Standing Call
How churches gather to pray — and keep everyone connected.
About the show
The Standing Call sits down with pastors and church leaders to hear how their people pray together — the daily calls, the weekly gatherings, and the quiet faithfulness of a church that keeps prayer at its center. Every church does it a little differently, and every story is worth telling.
We dig into the how and the why: how you gather, who shows up, how you reach the members who are hardest to reach, and the moments that come when a community prays together. Whether your church prays by phone, online, or in person, we'd love to hear your story.
