The Sphere of Family: Praying for the Nation's Most Vulnerable

In this episode of the NWoP Ten Spheres of Influence podcast, co-hosts Kam Flame and Gareth Russell are joined by three remarkable leaders working at the frontlines of family life in the UK and beyond, Tanya Bright (Safe Families & Home for Good), Mark Chester (Care for the Family), and Henrietta Blythe (Open Doors UK & Ireland).

Together they explore the pressures facing families in Britain today, from isolation and the digital age to the foster care crisis, and what it looks like for the church to respond practically and prayerfully. Henrietta brings a global perspective, sharing stories of persecuted Christians standing firm in the face of extraordinary suffering, and the power of prayer that crosses borders and prison walls.

The conversation moves from challenge to hope, with powerful testimonies of answered prayer, a young couple who adopted a sibling group of five, and a seven-year prayer campaign that preceded the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The episode closes with a time of repentance and intercession over the sphere of family, for the nation, and for the global church.
