Tyler Staton is the Lead Pastor of Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon, and the National Director of 24-7 Prayer USA. He is passionate about pursuing prayer - communion and conversation with God - while living deeply, poetically, wildly, and freely in the honest and gritty realities of day-to-day life. Tyler believes that justice is kinship, stories are a gift, and prayer is an invitation. He lives in Portland with his wife Kirsten, and their sons Hank, Simon, and Amos. 24-7 Prayer was born from one small student-led prayer vigil that God invaded and quickly spread into 100+ nations, touching 2 million people of all ages in over 12 thousand locations, and landing in almost every denomination: traditional and non-traditional expressions alike. Collectively, prayer has continued non-stop night and day since that 1st vigil in 1999; putting presence-centred, missionminded prayer back at the heart of communities all over the world and leaving a global movement of prayer, mission, and justice in its wake.

Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools: An Invitation to the Wonder and Mystery of Prayer An invitation to an ordinary yet radical way of life, using historic Christian practices as both inspiring vision and practical instruction for how to encounter the wondrous, mysterious, living God through prayer. Prayer is the source of Jesus' most astonishing miracles and the subject of Jesus's most audacious promises, and yet, most people - even most Bible-believing Christians - find prayer to be boring, obligatory, disappointing, confusing, or, most often, all of the above.
If you've ever felt this way, Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools is your invitation to trade your conceptions and misconceptions about prayer for prayer in its purest form: a vital, sustaining, powerful connection with God that is more real and alive than you could have ever imagined. In these pages, Tyler Staton addresses common roadblocks to prayer and gives you the confidence to come to God just as you are.
