When we say that, "The no.1 collateral damage for the prophetic messenger is relationship".... what do we mean?  We thought the best way to answer this is to give a bit of insight into the first 8 years of our married lives/public ministry together.  On our wedding day, it was prophesied over us that we would "live loud" for God, and that we would be reformers in the spirit of...

In this week's episode of Into the Pray , at the beginning of this new season we've called "Work for Reformers", we begin to think and talk about the gift of prophecy.  In 1 Corinthians 14:1, Paul tells us all to "Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy." So what happens when the Church don't do that? What happens when w...

Into the Pray is back with Season 2! This is the intro episode for the brand-new season that we're calling, "Work for Reformers". The prophetic people of God are often paralysed by a fear of youth and inexperience and a political spirit that wants us safe, controlled, predictable, quiet, silent, impotent and lukewarm. But our Bible tells us to eagerly desire the gifts that the Spiri...

In this final "outro" episode of the first series of Into the Pray, Nick Franks summarises 7 of the main prayers that he and Mairi pray on a daily basis. As the COVID-19 lockdown lifts across the West, as summer begins to pop, please don't confuse the changing natural seasons with the activity of the spiritual realm - the heavenlies - and what's really unfolding beyond our natu...

On the Into the Pray #podcast this week, we’re joined by Ryan Kondo, a bro from t’other side of the large, oceanic mass (we did say that we don’t like overused, meaningless cliche!). Bringing with him a mighty wealth of experience leading worship and pastoring teams around the world, we’re so pumped to host him in this convo. All of us tracking with these podcasts over the last 2.5 months have had...

In this week’s episode of Into the Pray we are massively blessed to speak with Jonathan Boegl from Arizona, USA. Jonathan brings the weight 20+ years of experience in pastoral ministry, including a decade of involvement with the International House of Prayer in Kansas City. We connected with Jonathan recently because of our profound agreement regarding what the Lord is saying and emphasising to th...

In this eighth episode of Into the Pray, and our mini-series Chaos, we take our social media lives into our hands by challenging whether God's voice for us at this time is really heard by listening to the UK Blessing video that has now had more than 2 million views on YouTube. Isn’t it profoundly naive to think that the spiritual narratives that are receiving awards from tabloids and Prime Mi...

In this seventh episode of the mini-series Chaos , Nick and Mairi Franks remind us all that there are very specific realities that we should all be prepared to point to for anyone who is genuinely having their eyes opened to the urgent work of Spirit-led reform underway within the Body of Christ. But not everyone who asks a question (or leaves a comment) is genuinely in a place of humility to hear...

This week on Into the Pray we get a bit more gutsy with Steve Buckley in discussing the following: - The unique history that Britain has as regards to Israel and the Jewish people - The unique role that Britain may again play as the bride is prepared for His coming - Forms of leadership in the “church” that simply will no longer cut it moving into the brave new, post COVID-19 world - Two main type...

In this fifth episode of Into the Pray, we hover, we pore, we linger over a well-known/not-well-known word that we have no doubt is 'the' word and what the living, returning Christ is bellowing to His sleepy, arrogant, bewitched body on Earth. Drawing briefly on the pop 'wisdom' soundbites of some leading experts in their field, (philosophy and parenting), we take a direct &apo...

“Seeker-sensitive Shambles” and “The British Burden for an Israeli Ignorance" were also strong contenders as titles for this week's episode of Into the Pray, featuring my posh Mancunian mate, Steve Buckley. Continuing our mini-series “Chaos” (looking around the mess of the Church), what place does Israel have within what God’s doing? Have you even asked that question before? Steve and I...

This week we're excited to introduce you to an English author called John Hampton in the third part of our mini-series simply entitled "Chaos". We wanted to feature John on Into the Pray as quickly as possible because his book Mere Churchianity is THAT important...we like to think of it as a manifesto of the kingdom and certainly a book that should be at the very top of everyone&apo...

This is the second part of our mini-series entitled, "Chaos". What do King Théoden and Gandalf have to do with the ekklesia at this pivotal point in history? In this week’s second episode of “Into the Pray”, we go through a list of the top 10 reasons that people commonly push back against the conscience-level decision of leaving the institutionalised “church” for the hope of something ac...

(This is the first part of a multi-part mini-series [episodes TBC] called Chaos ). In this first full-length episode of Into the Pray - Breaching the Chaos of the Church , Nick and Mairi Franks jump more deeply into the chaos that is the Church - the Body of Christ on the earth. Why do we consider the "church" to be chaotic? What is it more precisely that needs to be breached? What are t...

Welcome to the initial "intro" episode of Into the Pray , a new weekly podcast hosted by Nick and Mairi Franks. Following on from the groundbreaking book of 2019, Body Zero (www.bodyzerobook.com), Into the Pray is our next step beyond the institution of denomination, past 'the point of no return' and specifically towards awakening the ancient prayer of Maranatha. In this initia...
