The Family Disciple Me Podcast // Discipleship Starts With a Conversation
TRANSFIGURATION PRAYER: Where Heaven Meets Here | James Teaches Us to FOLLOW in Prayer | Convo #5
What kind of pray-er are you: a talker, a listener, or somewhere in between? We step onto the Mount of Transfiguration with Peter, James, and John, then follow James down the mountain and into the real world where faith is tested and shaped. While Peter speaks, the Father issues a single command, "Listen to Him," and that command becomes the turning point for James, a Son of Thunder whose life eventually moves from ambition to obedience.
Join Tosha Williams in this conversation as we explore how James’ fiery impulse to call down judgment gives way to a life marked by prayer and courage. We look at the scenes that formed him: from the glory on the mountain, the prayerful waiting in Acts 1, and eventually the courtroom where he paid the ultimate price. Though none of James' words are recorded, we learn from him a willingness to follow Jesus no matter what. Jesus said, “Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and FOLLOW Me" (Matthew 16:24), and "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them and they FOLLOW Me" (John 10:27). You’ll be inspired how a life of prayer speaks loudest through faithful steps: listening to God along the way, praying when God feels silent, choosing obedience when quitting seems easier.
This episode offers a fresh vision of spiritual strength: not louder words, but a deeper willingness. We draw practical lines from James’ story to our own rhythms, shifting from “God, give me” to “Jesus, where you go, I’ll go." Along the way, we honor the quiet force of a life that outlives words and invite you to let your steps become a wordless amen that echoes beyond today, too.
Spend some time with the Lord using the accompanying devotion-driven discipleship guide that can be found at James Teaches Us to Follow.
