Pete Greig: 2024 DLW Podcast Awards Rd. 1

The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast

Help Me Pick the Best Podcast Conversation of 2024!

For the next two weeks, I'll replay the top-two most downloaded interviews for the second quarter oft his year. Then we'll have a survey for you to vote and choose a winner to move onto the semi-finals.

The first quarter winner was Mattie Jackson-Smith!

After we choose a winner from Q2, you can choose the finalist from the first half of the year by voting between the first two winners (Mattie Jackson-Smith and whoever wins Q2). At the end of the year, we'll let the two semi-finalist winners battle to become the inaugural Dr. Lee Warren Podcast Award winner! Let's listen to these amazing conversations and then honor our guests for sharing their stories and their wisdom with us.

The nominees for Q2 are Pete Greig and Tara-Leigh Cobble! We will replay Pete's episode today and Tara-Leigh's next Wednesday, and then you can vote to see who goes head-to-head with Mattie in three weeks!

(Remember: when we replay old episodes, the free books have already been given away)

Pete Greig has been teaching us to pray for decades.

What do you do when God seems far away? How do we learn to hear God? How do we pray when life hurts?

These are BIG questions! And Pete's here to help us answer them.
