"Well, all that's left to do is pray."

How many times have you said it? How many times have you waited until everything else failed?

In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow make the case that prayer isn't the last resort. It's your first line of defense.

When Paul warned Timothy about the threats facing the early church, the very next thing he called for was prayer. Why? Because no warrior wins this fight in his own strength.

So, what does real prayer look like? Richard and Christy say it's not a vending machine and not special church language. It's honest, all-day communion with a loving Father who already knows your struggles, your doubts, and your failures.

And it's not just for you. When was the last time you stopped and prayed with someone in need? Christy shares the moment they didn't and why it still weighs on them.

Are you going into battle with prayer or saving it for when the battle is lost?

Listen now and make prayer your first move.
