When Nothing Changes-Why God Rarely Changes Our Circumstances

About this episode

The episode discusses the idea that God focuses on changing us rather than our circumstances, even when prayers seem unanswered.

Whatever gave us the idea that God’s primary business is to change our circumstances? When prayers go on and on, and nothing seems to change, God is ever present—not altering situations, but changing us. When we fail to see what God is doing, perhaps we are looking in the wrong places. Text John 2.
