For our 250th episode (and the close of Season Five!), the BeatiDudes welcome Ryan Skoog, co-author of Lead with Prayer, for a conversation that weaves together humor, holiness, and the heart of true leadership.

In this milestone episode, Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein sit with Ryan to explore how prayer is not a checklist or productivity hack, it’s the lifeblood of friendship with Jesus. From global church leaders in war zones to billionaires in Manhattan, Ryan shares how the Holy Spirit leads disciples across the world into strikingly similar prayer practices.

Together, we dive into:

• Why friendship is the foundation of every authentic prayer life.
• The difference between “a prayer time” and crafting “a day with God.”
• The power of prayer in the darkest valleys, from demonic nightmares to devastating business collapse, and how Christ’s presence transforms suffering into blessing.
• The invitation to humility: prayer as the posture of “I need You, Lord.”

This episode is both a celebration of 250 shows and a challenge to humble ourselves, waste time with Jesus, and discover the miracle of prayer as friendship.
