About This Session
In this deeply personal and practical session from Pastors & Leaders Conference 2026, Aaron Smith shares his journey into prayer and how years of planting himself in the presence of God transformed his leadership, ministry, marriage, and life.
Through stories from the early days of UPPERROOM, biblical teaching, and practical discipleship, Aaron invites leaders into a lifestyle where prayer is no longer treated as a ministry tool, but as the place of intimacy, surrender, and transformation.
This session is both a call back to the secret place and an invitation to build ministries that flow from communion with Jesus rather than striving, gifting, or performance.
