What if the most powerful change in your community began when you—and your church—took intercession seriously for the public square?
In this Pastor to Pastor episode, Pastor Brian Noble explores the vital role of intercessory prayer in shaping culture and equipping congregations for impact outside the church walls. Focusing on Exodus 32:9–14—the story of Moses interceding for Israel after the golden calf incident—he draws parallels to today’s world, where idolatry and stubbornness are just as common.
Brian emphasizes that effective strategies and resources are important, but without bathing everything in prayer and seeking God’s direction, the church misses out on God’s best. He illustrates how Moses’s passionate pleas changed the course of Israel’s history and encourages pastors to teach their flocks to both read and pray Scripture as a powerful means of intercession.
He highlights free resources, including FPIW’s Public Square Prayer Guide, which provides practical ways to pray for government leaders, schools, families, justice, and truth. These guides, available on the FPIW website, are designed to empower churches and individuals to pray specifically for cultural transformation. The episode also touches on the importance of forgiveness, reminding listeners that a community marked by prayer and release of bitterness can have far-reaching influence.
Pastor Brian concludes with a heartfelt prayer for the pastors of Washington State, asking God to grant wisdom and boldness to lead their people in intercessory prayer—laying a foundation for advancing biblical values and spiritual renewal throughout the public square.
