Jack footer focuses on the importance of prayer and how it reflects our desires for both ourselves and the world around us. He challenges us to think about the content of our prayers by asking, “What would the world look like if God answered all your prayers in the last 24 hours?” Are we praying for personal comfort or for things that could truly change the world, like healing or peace?
He also addresses the concept of the “lost”—those who don’t know Christ—and emphasizes that every person has value and purpose in God’s kingdom. He challenges the idea that reaching the lost is just about counting conversions, explaining instead that it’s about discipleship and nurturing a relationship with them.
Jack shares a story about a pastor’s dream, where a church is filled with people living in sin, and how God reminded the pastor that these were the lost he had prayed for. He encourages believers to be prepared for the messiness that comes with reaching out to the lost and shares that change comes through God, not through our efforts to mould others in our image. He highlights the importance of reaching the lost with love and compassion, giving Jesus’ interaction with the Samaritan woman at the well as an example. Jesus, he says, met her with grace and understanding, rather than judgment, offering her the gift of salvation. Jack stresses that the Gospel is inherently powerful, and though it may be offensive to some because it demands change, it is essential to preach it with boldness and truth.
Finally, he discusses the importance of equipping young people for the challenges they will face in the world, urging the church to focus on discipleship and empowerment, rather than protection and sheltering.
