Why Jesus Won’t Answer Your Prayer the Way You Want

About this episode

This episode discusses the challenges of trusting Jesus when He doesn't meet our expectations in prayer.

Palm Sunday began with “Hosanna” … and ended with “Crucify Him.” Why? Because Jesus didn’t meet their expectations. In this episode, we wrestle with a hard truth: sometimes Jesus won’t fix the thing you’re asking Him to fix—because He’s going after something deeper. The question is… if He doesn’t show up the way you hoped, will you still trust Him as King?
