BEFORE THE AMEN
Important Conversations Preparing the Heart for Prayer
Before the Amen is a 12-episode podcast series created in preparation for the New Pink Paradigm Global Prayer Day (08-08-26).
Each episode features a member of the Faith Leaders Circle — spiritual leaders from diverse backgrounds who share a common belief in the power of prayer, faith, and healing.
These conversations explore what happens in the moments before the Amen — when fear is spoken honestly, faith begins to rise, and hearts open to the possibility of improved experiences.
Through powerful stories and religious and spiritual insights, each Faith Leader offers guidance on preparing the mind, emotions, and spirit for prayer.
The goal of this series is simple:
To help each of us approach prayer with sincerity, hope, and sacred intention.
The Journey Toward Global Prayer Day
The New Pink Paradigm podcast conversations guide listeners through a meaningful journey of preparation — spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually.
Each series builds upon the other, helping individuals move from inspiration to the daily practice of prayer, to deeper understanding of healing.
The podcast journey unfolds in three stages:
Soul Stronger 12-Part Podcast Series
Stories of faith and resilience that inspire hope.
Before the Amen
Conversations with religious and spiritual leaders about prayer, faith, and preparing the heart.
Healing Conversations

Why This Series Matters
Prayer becomes more meaningful when our hearts are prepared.
The Before the Amen series helps each of us prepare for prayer in three important ways.
- Prepare the Mind - Explore spiritual wisdom and thoughtful perspectives that help you approach prayer with clarity and understanding.
- Prepare the Heart - Create space for healing, honesty, and openness as you bring your real life before God.
- Create Sacred Time - Pause in the middle of busy lives to reconnect with faith, hope, and the presence of God.
Each episode offers religious and spiritual wisdom that listeners can return to again and again.
The 4-Part Prayer Preparation Framework
Each conversation in this series gently guides listeners through a spiritual preparation process.
This rhythm helps us to practice prayer more intentionally in our own lives.
Reflect
Each episode begins with reflection.
Guests share powerful stories and wisdom about faith, healing, and the role prayer plays during difficult moments.
Release
Listeners are encouraged to bring their fears, worries, and burdens into prayer honestly.
Prayer does not require perfection — only sincerity.

Receive
Prayer is not only about speaking. It is also about listening. Holy Listening.
Faith Leaders share ways to become aware of God's Presence through quiet reflection, scripture, gratitude, or stillness.
Respond
Each episode closes with a short prayer offered by the guest Faith Leader.
Listeners are invited to pause, reflect on their own needs, and speak their own prayer before the final Amen.
