SESSION RECORDINGS
MAIN SESSION SPEAKER
Tim Robinson
A Prayer-Soaked Life: Reflections from the Prayer Life of Jesus in Mark 1
Main Session II:
A Prayer-Soaked Church: Reflections on the Prayer Life of the First Church in Acts 4
“In these messages I hope to call your wonderful church leaders back to the place of prayer – both in their own personal lives as they serve in pastoral ministry, but also in their church leadership – that they would call their congregations back to the place of pleading with God in prayer to move mightily in our day.”
About Tim
Dr. Tim Robinson serves in the Pastoral Ministries department at Dallas Theological Seminary. He was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland (so listen out for his accent!) and pastored within local church ministry in his home country for 12 years. He is married to Carrie, and they have three children – Hannah, Abigail and Caleb. Dr. Robinson is passionate about teaching and preaching the Scriptures in a way that is true, clear, relevant, and interesting. His greatest desire is that he might faithfully feed souls the word of God and see God form hearts into the likeness of Christ.
