About this episode

Michael Wittwer discusses the significance of Solomon's request for a discerning heart in prayer and its implications for today.

A teenage king is handed absolute power and one open-ended offer from God: ask for anything. He asks for a discerning heart instead of wealth or safety, and Michael Wittwer unpacks why that request changes everything, and what it looks like to pray the same way today.
