The 10 Days Story (Part 3)

In Part 3, covering events from May 2005- June 2006, Jonathan and Gregg discuss the fall out from the first "failed" attempt at calling believers to participate in 10 Days. 

After being on the verge of walking away from the Lord and navigating cripling depression, Jonathan makes the unlikely decision to go to seminary near Boston, Massachusetts.  While he thinks God is angy at him and is sending him to "spiritual Siberia" in the Northeast, it's actually a divine set-up for restoration and revival.  While reading Jonathan Edwards, who wrote about the First Great Awakening, he realizes that many people from that time period who experienced revival also made similar mistakes to his own.  Finally, Jonathan finds help and salvation from an unlikely source...a gazelle!

This is the third installment in a multi-part series of interviews telling the story of 10 Days in depth from the perspective of the founder, Jonathan Friz, interviewed by 10 Days board member Gregg Healey.  While many people have heard elements of the story of 10 Days, this is an in depth retelling that includes many stories that have never been shared before publicly.  You'll hear it all--from amazing victories to dramatic and painful failures.  Jonathan and Gregg are good friends and it comes through in the playful and fun conversational style of the interviews.

About the Podcast

10 Days
Join the Global Upper Room
10 Days is a tangible step of obedience toward the answer to Jesus’ prayer in John 17:21: “Let them be one as we are one.” This is about seeing Jesus receive the answer to His dying wish, for the John 17 unity of His followers. “Jesus gets what He prays for!”

Every year in cities around the world, believers come together in a citywide prayer meeting for 10 days in September. We take a break from what’s normal on earth so we can enter into what’s normal in heaven.

We hope you'll join us in the Global Upper Room this September.
