ALL NIGHT PRAYER!

The WEEKLY LEAD PODCAST: WEEK 13 — ALL NIGHT PRAYER!
This week, Becky introduces you to another favorite “revival and prayer” author of hers. This week’s  “virtual” guest is Wesley Duewel. 
Each week, Becky Tirabassi, pastor and podcaster, invites you to become a culture-changing leader through the lens of L.E.A.D. Whether you are a parent (or student), professor, pastor, politician or young professional, you can start today and join 100’s of others in being (1) LOYAL to God’s Word, (2) ENCOURAGING to others, (3) true and meaningful ADVOCATES for the young generation, and (4) DEVOTED power-houses in prayer!
 
LOYALTY to God’s Word: Reading through the entire Bible each year is not just a good idea—it is a specific plan to hear God’s voice daily—and in just 15 minutes a day! This week’s Old Testament passages from Deuteronomy are FAMOUS—included is “The Shema.” Please don’t miss reading and meditating on it—especially if you are a parent! In this week’s Change Your Life Daily Bible’s New Testament reading in Luke, Jesus prays all night—Becky challenges you to do the same!  And as always, the selected Psalms and Proverbs are equally comforting, convicting, and compelling! That is why she asks you to read the Bible daily—so that it will change your life!
 
ENCOURAGEMENT to Others: In this week’s podcast, Becky shares the four historic signs of revival to give listeners/viewers courage (and words) to dispense hope for turning our nation back to God.
 
ADVOCACY for the Young Generation: Did you know that one of the greatest revivals (in Wales) was spearheaded by a teenager? Don’t underestimate the impact that campus leaders can have on the nation!
 
Finally, The WEEKLY LEAD podcast always closes with a reminder that a leader must be...
 
DEVOTED to Prayer. Becky shares from a few more of her classic books on prayer to spark a fire in your heart for starting a prayer meeting in your home, on your campus, or in your workplace. You must simply make the time and invite others. Surely God is waiting for our nation’s leaders to do this!

21st Century Sacred Scriptures!

This week, Becky introduces you to a few more her favorite authors and seminary professors—as her “virtual” guests—to inspire you to LEAD differently than the culture. Her guests will implore you to make the Bible—not Harry Potter novels—your sacred scriptures and to make prayer a true priority in your daily life. Why? That is one sure way to lead a family, city, and nation back to God. Yes?
 
Each week, Becky Tirabassi, pastor and podcaster, invites you to become a culture-changing leader through the lens of L.E.A.D. Whether you are a parent, professor, pastor, politician or young professional, you can start today and join 100’s of others in being (1) LOYAL to God’s Word, (2) ENCOURAGING to others, (3) true and meaningful ADVOCATES for the young generation, and (4) DEVOTED power-houses in prayer!
 
LOYALTY to God’s Word: Reading through the entire Bible each year is not just a good idea—it is a specific plan to hear God’s voice daily! Who doesn’t need the voice of God to guide his or her life? As you will read this week in Deuteronomy, there were consequences for ignoring God’s basic commands. In the New Testament reading of The Change Your Life Daily Bible, when Jesus was tempted, He spoke Words from Scripture. He relied on the Word of God to shape His decisions and responses. This week’s Psalms and Proverbs are compelling and thought-provoking: the Lord loves integrity and detests crookedness.
 
ENCOURAGEMENT to Others: If you have not concluded yet, that the Bible is meant to be your greatest encourager, comforter, guide and advisor, then perhaps this week’s “virtual guest,” Joel Green (Professor of NT at Fuller Seminary), will inspire you afresh! He certainly has inspired Becky to read the Bible daily for before, during, and after seminary! Might you be inspired read God’s Word daily as a source of great encouragement for your life and leadership.
 
ADVOCACY for the Young Generation: In a recent chapel presentation by Christian Smith of Notre Dame titled Something Shifted, you will be made aware—if you are not already—of the desperate situation that exists in today’s culture, especially for the young generation. Of course, Becky believes what her professor, Joel Green believes—we must READ the Bible with our youth (not just preach to them)! What a novel idea!
 
Finally, The WEEKLY LEAD podcast always closes with a reminder that a leader must be DEVOTED to Prayer. In Becky's classic book, Let Prayer Change Your Life, she explores the many aspects of prayer by looking at Jesus’s life: all night prayer, morning prayer, 24/7 prayer. This week, especially, consider how you might spark prayer meetings wherever you go!

Spiritual Leadership

Each week, Becky Tirabassi, pastor and podcaster, invites you to become a culture-changing leader through the lens of L.E.A.D. Whether you are a parent, professor, politician or young professional, you can start today and join 100’s of others in being (1) LOYAL to God’s Word, (2) ENCOURAGING to others, (3) tADVOCATES for the young generation, and (4) DEVOTED power-houses in prayer!
This week, Becky introduces another of her favorite authors to you—as her “virtual” guest—on The Weekly Lead Podcast, quoting J. Oswald Sanders, a trainer of missionaries in the 20th century and author of Spiritual Leadership.
LOYALTY to God’s Word: As she does each week, Becky gives you a preview of next week's Change Your Life Daily Bible readings. This week, you’ll open the Gospel of Luke, which is Becky’s favorite Gospel especially as it has been called The Gospel of Prayer. The Old Testament readings this week will both convict and motivate you to higher standards of leadership, especially Proverbs 11:13.
ENCOURAGEMENT to Others: Among the numerous encouraging quotes in Spiritual Leadership, perhaps none is greater than the one that Becky shared at most events for over two decades: “You’re as full of the Holy Spirit as you want to be.”
ADVOCACY for the Young Generation: J.O.Sanders was a list maker, as well as a question asker. Becky has used his book for training for over two decades with all of her youth staff because they are timeless and full of truth.
Finally, The WEEKLY LEAD PODCAST always closes with a reminder that a leader must be DEVOTED to Prayer. J.O. Sanders’s dedicates an entire chapter on “Prayer and Leadership,” from which Becky highlights many “zingers” including, “Great leaders of the Bible were great at prayer!”

The LEAD HOUSE in Washington, D.C.

If THE WEEKLY LEAD PODCAST has fired, then Becky Tirabassi invites you to JOIN her WEEKLY LEAD TEAM by signing up HERE!
This week, Becky's "virtual guest" is William Wilberforce, author of Real Christianity written in 1797! She is certain you will be amazed at how relevant and contemporary Wilberforce's words sound to a 21st century audience. Since (and perhaps because of) discovering his book in 2006, Becky has been inspired by Wilberforce's example of genuine faith combined with culture-changing leadership.
In this week's episode, Becky threads the story of The LEAD HOUSE, a prayer and fellowship house, she established in Washington, D.C., throughout her four proven "LEAD" tenets:
Loyalty to God's Word: This week in The Change Your Life Daily Bible, you will the blessing of God, delivered by Moses, in Numbers 6:24-26 in the Old Testament and hear Jesus Himself speak to leaders about living "above the culture." She describes the confession session of Psalm 51 (one of the more prominent Psalms of David), and a warning from Proverbs about the power of one's words. [Wilberforce was a strong proponent for daily Bible reading, believing that God's Words mattered most in guiding one's life, whether a parent, politician, pastor, or student. 
Encouragement to Others: In this segment of The WEEKLY LEAD PODCAST, Becky shares encouraging Wilberforce's advice for "those who possess authentic faith" in a society where faith is declining.
Advocacy for the Young Generation: The very first paragraph of Wilberforce's book talks about how the education of a nation's young generation must be prioritized on "learning the things of God." He challenges readers in every century with the reminder that "authentic faith cannot be inherited!" Becky has spent 40 years with students in each of the past four decades--and yet, there has never been a more anxious time for students. Take her guest's advice to hear!
Devotion to Prayer: Similar to Wilberforce, Becky is calling a nation back to God through daily prayer and Bible reading--calling them "the essentials" of authentic faith!

Knowing God

As a lover of classic Christian books by culture-changing authors, Becky is spending the next few weeks introducing you to her favorites!
 
And if you’re new to THE WEEKLY LEAD PODCAST, each week, Pastor Becky Tirabassi takes listeners and viewers through four powerful, proven tenets for 21st century leaders: Loyalty, Encouragement, Advocacy, and Devotion.
 
This week…
 
LOYALTY TO GOD’S WORD: For over 38 years, Becky has read through the entire Bible each year in just 15 minutes a day. This week you will be reading from Leviticus where God asks the people to “be holy.” Still relevant, right? This week in the Gospel of Mark, a blind beggar will SCREAM for Jesus, despite being shushed and shamed. The result? He was healed. Finally, this week’s Psalms and Proverbs are poignant, certainly convicting. Don’t miss them! For your own copy of the Change Your Life Daily Bible: Study Bible Edition, visit Amazon.com and to follow Becky’s “Change Your Life TV” daily commentary on “today’s” Daily Bible reading, visit: Instagram.com/beckytirabassi
 
ENCOURAGEMENT TO OTHERS: J.I. Packer describes one of the greatest benefits of knowing God: peace. “Peace with God” is a gift we receive, as well as a message about God that we can give to others. Change the atmosphere of every relationship by telling others how to receive “peace with God.”
 
ADVOCACY FOR THE YOUNG: No matter how old you are, you can influence the young generation. Becky quotes Packer’s 4 GREAT effects of knowing God—“must have” reading for your library, yes?
 
DEVOTION TO PRAYER: Becky has been praying one-hour daily for over 38 years. This week, she chose Packer’s 5 pitfalls to hearing God’s voice in prayer as her closing challenge!

The Weekly LEAD - Week 8

The WEEKLY LEAD PODCAST WEEK 8
Becky Tirabassi, pastor and podcaster, invites listeners to become culture-changing leaders through the lens of L.E.A.D. Whether you are a parent, professor, politician or young professional, you can start today and join 100’s of others in being (1) LOYAL to God’s Word, (2) ENCOURAGING to others, (3) true and meaningful ADVOCATES for the young generation, and (4) DEVOTED power-houses in prayer!
This week, Becky brings to her podcast a 20th century virtual guest —a former Chaplain of the US Senate, author of “Mr Jones, Meet the Master, and Pastor in Washington, DC—Dr. Peter Marshall. Becky’s love for Peter Marshall’s prayers and sermons have always inspired her as an author and speaker, but never more so than as the Founder of The LEAD HOUSE, a prayer and fellowship house for Members of Congress in Washington, DC.
LOYALTY to God’s Word: This week, Becky gives you a preview of next week's Change Your Life Daily Bible readings—introducing two new books in the Bible, Leviticus and Mark. Her insights give you background into the author’s intentions by bringing the Story of God to life in your life. Additionally, Becky shares her favorite Psalms from this week (37 and 40), and reminds you about the poignancy of Proverbs!
ENCOURAGEMENT to Others: Peter Marshall was not shy in pointing out the weaknesses of the leaders around him! And he often did it through prayer! In his compilation of prayers and sermons in “Mr Jones, Meet the Master,” he said, “Most of us know perfectly well what we ought to do; our trouble is that we do not want to do it.” Peter wanted to challenge leaders to raise the standards around them, especially to encourage, rather than criticize or undermine. Will he change your mind?
ADVOCACY for the Young Generation: Peter Marshall spoke to his culture of leaders openly about the topic of alcohol abuse. Decades later we are looking at massive numbers of Americans who are addicted, not only to alcohol. Becky refers to a current book, Dopesick, that describes how leaders appear to ahve abandoned the young generation. Becky asks, "What can you and I do to reverse the trend?"
Finally, The WEEKLY LEAD podcast always closes with a reminder that a leader must be DEVOTED to Prayer. In Becky's classic book, Let Prayer Change Your Life, she quoted Peter Marshall numerous times. She hopes a favorite quote of hers becomes a favorite quote of yours: "When I neglect to pray, mine is the loss!”
