Show overview
Big Picture Podcast has been publishing since 2023, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 49 episodes. That works out to roughly 30 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence, with the show now in its 2nd season.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 29 min and 46 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Education show.
There hasn’t been a new episode in the last ninety days; the most recent episode landed 6 months ago. The busiest year was 2024, with 24 episodes published. Published by Susan Obi.
From the publisher
It's easy to get fixated on all the difficulties, details and disappointments in life, but how many times do we stop and ask ourselves what the big picture is? Empowerment is found in knowing that each path we venture through on this journey called life serves a purpose. The goal of this podcast is to inspire listeners to consider the big picture in each season of life. I will be discussing various relevant topics dealing with faith, making decisions, dating, religion, culture and so much more. I will also have guests join in on the conversations with me. I hope you enjoy the journey!

S2 Ep 32The Purpose of Prayer
I have a few key things I have been praying for lately. Today, I'm talking about prayer and what I have learned so far. Quote mentioned in today's episode: "A desire for God which cannot break the chains of sleep is a weak thing and will do but little good for God after it has indulged itself fully... it is not simply the getting up that puts men to the front and makes them captain generals in God's hosts, but it is the ardent desire which stirs and breaks all self-indulgent chains." E.M. Bounds Scriptures mentioned: Exodus 3:7 - character of God John 8:4-12 - character of Jesus Romans 8:1 - character of Jesus Luke 12:11-12 - character of the Holy Spirit John 16 - character of the Holy Spirit Psalms 103:7 - character of God 2 Kings 6:15 -18 - purpose of prayer 1 Corinthians 2 - we are spiritual beings Revelation 8:4 - God hears our prayers Ephesians 1:11 - God works things out according to His plan Proverbs 21:1 - prayer changes hearts Connect: bigpicture_podcast
