The 24-7 prayer room and the National Atheist Convention

With about 15 minutes left, the hosts announce the church's twice-yearly 24-7 prayer room: April 10th through the 24th (ending on Easter), two weeks of round-the-clock prayer with paper on the walls for prayer requests, music, instruments, and snacks; the show will broadcast from the prayer room for two of those weeks. One host tells how signing up for hour blocks (and late-night slots like 2–4 a.m.) flies by, and recalls getting fired up about the 'God is for me' psalm at 3:30 a.m. with no one around. Then the plan: the National Atheist Convention is in Des Moines April 21–24, and they'll run a prayer room on site, incognito — quietly praying that God implodes false thinking rather than protesting. Hotel rooms are sold out, which becomes its own bit.
