When Prayer Becomes Dry | André Regnier & Ron Huntley | Huntley Leadership Podcast #225
If prayer feels dry, lifeless, or stuck—listen to this episode! Many Catholics are faithful in prayer but still feel stuck. The discipline is there, but the sense of relationship, expectation, and transformation can begin to fade. In this episode, André Regnier shares a practical framework for conversational prayer that helps believers move beyond simply saying prayers and into a deeper, more personal relationship with God. 👉 If you want to build the kind of vibrant discipleship discussed in this conversation, start by taking the Parish Missional Health Assessment at HuntleyLeadership.com. Episode Summary:What is prayer really for? For many Christians, prayer becomes routine. We know we should pray, but over time the experience can feel dry, mechanical, or disconnected from everyday life. In this conversation, Ron Huntley sits down with André Regnier, co-founder of Catholic Christian Outreach (CCO) and author of Hearing God's Voice, to explore a simple but powerful approach to conversational prayer. Together they discuss how friendship, worship, Scripture, honesty, and daily action work together to create a prayer life that is personal, transformative, and deeply rooted in relationship with God. In this episode, you'll learn:- Why prayer is meant to be a conversation, not merely a religious obligation- What causes spiritual dryness and how to move through it- How honesty with God creates deeper intimacy- Why worship is foundational to hearing God's voice- How to read Scripture for transformation rather than information- A practical framework for daily conversational prayer- How to carry the fruits of prayer into everyday leadership and discipleship About André Regnier:André Regnier is the co-founder of Catholic Christian Outreach (CCO), one of Canada's most influential Catholic evangelization movements. Through decades of ministry, leadership formation, and discipleship, André has helped countless people develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and grow in missionary discipleship. He is the author of Hearing God's Voice: A Guide to Daily Conversational Prayer.

Give Jesus Back the Pen | Fr. John Riccardo & Ron Huntley | Huntley Leadership Podcast #224
What happens when ministry becomes driven more by pressure, exhaustion, and self-reliance than prayerful discernment? In this deeply practical and spiritually grounded conversation, Fr. John Riccardo joins Ron Huntley to explore surrender, leadership, discernment, and why renewal begins when leaders stop trying to control the story and “give Jesus back the pen.” If you’re longing for healthier leadership, clearer discernment, and a renewed vision for mission in the Church, this episode is for you. 👉 Get your copy of Road to Renewal: https://a.co/d/0fVLAlBp ----- Fr. John Riccardo shares hard-won wisdom from parish ministry, leadership formation, and his work with Acts XXIX. Together, he and Ron unpack what it means to restore the initiative to God, discern decisions as a team, and lead from trust rather than fear. This is a conversation for priests, parish teams, diocesan leaders, and anyone serious about renewal in the Church. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why discernment must become a leadership habit The meaning behind “Give Jesus back the pen” How Alpha transformed parish culture in Fr. John’s ministry Why leaders cannot lead alone The difference between prayer before work and prayer to discover the work How fear and self-reliance block renewal Why friendship and trust are essential for mission ----- About Fr. John Riccardo: Fr. John was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Detroit in 1996. In 2019, after 23 years in parish ministry, he founded ACTS XXIX to proclaim the gospel in an attractive and compelling way and to equip clergy and lay leaders for the age in which God has chosen us to live. Fr. John is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the Gregorian University, and the Pope John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and the Family.
