Wayne Drain Ministries

My friend David Eslick and I recently did an interview for The Green Room Podcast with Zion City in Tucson, Arizona. We looked at questions about how to feel planted in a church, the importance of fellowship, the relevance of breaking bread, and why prophecy is needed in the church today.

In this special podcast hosted by Martin Purnell, I share what it was like becoming a Christian during the Jesus Movement in the USA 50 years ago. What are the similarities between Church then and now? What is going on with Christianity in Universities today? I talk about my series of books including the latest title He Still Speaks to Kids and share some thoughts on mentoring and why it is so imp...

Our great Commission in Matthew 28 is about believers cooperating with the Holy Spirit to show and tell the good news of God’s kingdom. In this class we’ll look at ‘The Philip method’ of using spiritual gifts to find God’s lost treasures. This podcast is the audio version of my Prophetic Training Video Series, which my good friends at Victory Worship Center in Tucson, Arizona have   produced for m...

Prophetic ministry is about bringing encouragement, strengthening and comfort into the life of our community. People inside the church and across our city we’re called to are longing to know that God is real and sees them. In this class we’ll look at incorporating prophetic ministry into worship, prayer, dedicating children, affirming new members and healing. This podcast is the audio version of m...

THE FATHER'S NOD is about God's longing to show us his approval and to help us find our true identity as His sons and daughters. I share from my own personal experiences and my understanding of the 'Father's Nod' revealed in scripture.

In this podcast we talk about our journey over several decades, transitioning from writing songs about God, to writing songs to God. Reflecting on the influences of early Christian artists such as Keith Green, Andre Crouch, Love Song and many others. The mainstream artists such as Cat Stevens, George Harrison and others, whose spiritual songs impacted us. What we have experienced as we have led wo...

The past 50 years has seen the exponential growth of the contemporary worship movement and brought the Church new songs and hymns. The songs of our generation were radical and prophetic when first written. But it is easy to settle for these past blessings and the hymnology that we are comfortable with. In this podcast we reflect on our own experiences of songs and worship. Are we still moving forw...

The coronation of King Charles is happening in the UK and a US Presidential election is just around the corner. Wayne Drain and Noel Richards talk about their attitude toward those who 'reign over us'.

Any believer can prophesy when there is a prophetic anointing present. But that doesn’t mean they have the Gift of Prophecy or should be called a Prophet. The Art of Prophecy flows from a real connection with the Holy Spirit and an honest alignment with the principles of Scripture. This workshop is about developing those with a call in the prophetic to move beyond human imagination or the inspirat...

A prophetic presbytery is a prophetic gathering set aside for worship, prayer and prophetic ministry. The focus of a presbytery is to prophesy spiritual callings and to affirm leadership. Presbyteries are about Prophets and Local Leadership teaming up to equip and release people for their works of service.  This podcast is the audio version of my Prophetic Training Video Series, which my good frie...

My latest podcast comes from some things the Holy Spirit showed me during last December and into early January about 2023.  I believe it will inspire you and give you some practical direction as you journey through this important year.

What happens when we 'feel led' to take more time than we have been given, when leading worship. We may believe the Holy Spirit is taking us in a certain direction. However, it creates problems for others, particularly those who are leading a church meeting or event. 

When it comes to hearing a word from God, many people are nervous, even fearful—under-standably so. There is perhaps no ministry in the Church with more glaring examples of excess and counterfeit expressions than in this area. Mistakes can be made in the name of prophecy, especially when we let our desires or emotions become the motivating factor. Mature believers need to carefully weigh prophetic...

Noel Richards and I talk about the role that singing plays in our gatherings. Why do we sing and make music from our hearts to the Lord? What happens when we sing?

How do we safeguard against the tensions that can arise between the pastor and the worship team?

We can become very good at organising meetings and times of sung worship. We always want those we lead, to encounter God's presence in our meetings. But how should we respond when God breaks in on our well planned programme and takes things in a different direction?

As the modern worship movement has developed, is there a danger that we have become too performance orientated? These days are we focussing more on entertaining the congregation, with our technology, skills and musical ability, rather than the presence of God?

We know God speaks to us through the Bible. And we know that His sheep hear the Shepherd’s voice. Our creator God still speaks in many, many ways. In this podcast we will look at biblical and practical applications of how to hear from God through the Spiritual Gift of Prophecy.  This podcast is the audio version of my Prophetic Training Video Series, which my good friends at Victory Worship C...
