Guest Michael Kinsman. Why do we pray? Is it for our formation, or does prayer change things? Why does God teach us to pray when He already knows what we want? Does God listen to some people's prayers more than others? (James 

). Why are some people healed instantly, and others take more time? (Mark 8:22-26). We discuss the purpose and practices of prayer, and the implications of our prayer theology.&nbsp;

Is Christian Education Effective? pt. 1

Have you ever been felt like you weren't allowed to bring something up at church or family dinner? Or you got in trouble for asking something that's impolite or challenged someone? Maybe you've been given answers that don't work for you anymore, or have questions yet no one to ask. I'm advocating that you aren't a bad Christian for having doubts, asking tough questions; for changing the way you think and what you believe when new information is presented. This is the podcast where no questions about God, The Bible, Church, and Christian life are off limits.
