About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of believing that God hears and answers prayers, illustrated through a personal story of answered prayer.

Is there a prayer you've stopped praying because you assumed God wasn't listening? Today, I share a story as a Christian mom of answered prayer with my toddler - a small, silly prayer answered almost immediately TWICE in a row.  That small moment became a bigger conversation: God hears you. It also showed me lies that I was believing about prayer, even as a Bible believing, Christian woman.  We dive into this mini testimony AND Scripture that tells us that God hears, He is near, and He answers, even if not always how we expect.
