37 Seconds for 37 Days

Teachable Woman Podcast Show NotesIntroductionWelcome back to the Teachable Woman Podcast with Reverend Michele Owes. In this heartfelt episode, Rev. Owes shares a powerful testimony from a retreat participant whose life was transformed by prayer. Out of that testimony came a challenge that has already blessed women and men across multiple states. Now, you’re invited to join in this spiritual movement—37 seconds of prayer for 37 days—using Jesus’ example of prayer from Matthew 6:9–13.Show Note 1 – A Letter that Sparked a MovementRev. Michele Owes reads a touching letter from a 2025 Teachable Woman Retreat participant. The letter details how the retreat refreshed her spirit and reignited her commitment to prayer. From a small group chat, the 37-Day, 37-Second Prayer Challenge was born, spreading to women and men across Maryland, South Carolina, New York, Ohio, Texas, and beyond. Testimonies poured in of lives changed, prayer lives rekindled, and families praying together.Show Note 2 – The Power of Collective PrayerThis episode highlights the significance of Matthew 6:9–13, Jesus’ example of prayer, as the foundation of the 37-Day Challenge. Rev. Owes emphasizes why prayer is essential: it is the believer’s key to the kingdom of God and an open invitation for His will to be done on earth. The challenge demonstrates that when women of faith act on what they learn, prayer ignites transformation in communities, families, and personal lives.Show Note 3 – An Invitation to Join the ChallengeListeners are invited to participate in the upcoming 37-Day, 37-Second Prayer Challenge from October 1 – November 6, 2025. Each day, participants will pray Matthew 6:9–13, giving God permission to move in the earth. Rev. Owes encourages you to join by visiting teachablewoman.com and sending a note of commitment. Share the challenge widely, and expect testimonies of God’s goodness to follow.SummaryThis episode of the Teachable Woman Podcast is both testimony and invitation. What began as one woman’s obedience grew into a movement of prayer across multiple states. Rev. Michele Owes now extends the call: commit just 37 seconds for 37 days to pray Jesus’ prayer in Matthew 6:9-13 and watch how God moves. Prayer is powerful, and together, women of faith can open the way for God’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.
