Send me a Text Message!That's my question, well one of my questions in this episode, "Does prayer matter if God doesn't care?" I think most of us listening, believe that God could do what we've prayed for, but we have some problem believing that He would. In other words, we're not sure if God cares. And let's be honest, prayer is just shouting in the darkness if God doesn't care.But at the risk of giving it away, I'll simply say this, "God cares." In this episode and the next we'll talk abit about what God cares about.

Key Takeaways: The Last Supper is effectively employed as a recurring framing device, resonating spiritual significance. Current season episodes serve as narrative bridges, setting the stage for upcoming pivotal events. John’s portrayal reveals profound emotional interaction, enhancing understanding of key Biblical moments. The depiction of Mary Magdalene’s scene provokes reflection on storytelling methods and audience perception. Notable Quotes: "Watching this show makes you just double check that you know what you know or that you think you read what you thought you read." – Laura Bennett "Whoops. We're always meant to come back to the Last Supper. That's what our faith should sort of, you know, kind of hinge upon in some respects." – Laura Bennett "God could have stopped Jesus crucifixion and didn't. But there was reasoning behind that." – Laura Bennett "Can we take him literally? What does he mean? What is going to happen?" – Ben McEachen "He has actually said it, but also why wouldn't we take him at his word?" – Ben McEachen Laura Bennett hosts Hope Afternoons in Sydney, Australia, and UNDISTRACTED podcast.

Jase calls it a vacation, but it involved a back injury inflicted by Missy's cast iron skillet, wiping out in an ice-cold Colorado stream, and limping through a metal-detecting frenzy that led to a rare 1797 coin discovery. Zach and Al explore Christ's mission to touch the untouchable, heal the broken, and bring life to the desolate. Jase is moved to reflect on Jesus' question, “Do you understand what I've done for you?” and the love that pursues us long before we pursue Him.

Baby D has the day off so it's just the guys on this one. Before we discuss the new music that dropped last Friday, Mal wants to know if we're being over exposed to new music. JID's album has Rory thinking he has the potential l to be the next generation's GOAT. Leaks continue to spill from Cardi's camp, and Rory has a theory about her new track "Imaginary Players". Mal shows love to Shedeur Sanders after his first preseason game, but the real question is how come we didn't hit on Deion and Karrueche. Plus, a caller needs advice (or permission) to make up for lost time, and what song does Mal say makes him cry while flying? #volumeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

R. Dimi came from the land of Israel to Babylonia and taught how the land itself isn't rendered prohibited by virtue of people bowing down, but working/digging, etc. just might. The same for other items too. What about exchanging one thing for the thing that was worshipped? Still a problem, but the exchange of an exchange is a machloket. NOTE: A switch to discussion of libations and Aggadah in the mishnah (unusual, as we know). Does God really mind idolatry? He allows it, after all.... Also, a discussion between the philosophers in Rome (literally) and the sages on how God does not interfere in the running of the world, according to its natural order. But that means people do things against God's will and thrive nonetheless! (To wit, Rome).

In this homily on July 27th, 2025, Fr Mathias outlines several reasons why God doesn't give us what we want in prayer, as drawn from St Augustine and Scripture.  He concludes his homily by exhorting us to ask, seek and knock for the gift that the Father wants to give us: the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Am I Just Being Honest or Ungrateful?Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”I was working on my mentoring notes for this week. This month, I am answering commonly asked questions about finding joy in the struggle.  One of the questions I am answering this week is “How do I know if I'm being ungrateful or just honest about my pain?” As I was working on it, I thought it might be something that we are all asking ourselves. I know when I talk to people who are struggling, I often hear them say, “I know others have it so much worse.” I think we need to stop saying this. I know it is true, and yet when we say it, we are minimizing our pain.Our God is a big God. Our struggles don't take away from anyone else's struggles, and I think we all know that. The people we feel comfortable enough opening up to are not thinking that we don't care about others' struggles. They know us. They know we are thinking and praying for others. It is ok to ask for prayers for ourselves, too. It is ok to vent about our struggle, too.I have also heard people say that they shouldn't complain because they have so much to be grateful for. They should be more grateful for what they have and less upset about their struggle. I understand the sentiment behind this thought, and yet I feel that if we don't express how we truly feel and we just keep stuffing down the feelings we are actually having, then we will explode someday. Also, God can handle our real feelings.I don't know who we think we are fooling, but God knows EVERYTHING. He knows your heart, He knows what you are feeling, probably better than you do. So, just be honest and allow yourself to feel all the feelings without judging yourself. You will be able to move through your feelings quickly if you don't judge yourself and allow yourself to feel them all.While researching the answer to this question I found 4 ways that we can discern the difference between being ungrateful or just honest about your pain1. Honesty and Lament Are Not Ingratitude- Scripture is full of faithful people who loved and trusted God deeply—and who also expressed deep sorrow, frustration, and even anger. That's called lament, and it's not only permitted in the Bible—it's modeled.Examples:David in the Psalms weeps, questions, and complains—even while declaring his trust in God.Job curses the day he was born and demands answers—but God says Job spoke rightly.Jeremiah (the "weeping prophet") says things like “You have deceived me, Lord” (Jer. 20:7), and yet he was one of God's most faithful voices.So if you're saying things like:“God, this hurts.”“I don't understand.”“Why aren't You helping?”“I feel alone.”You are not being ungrateful—you are lamenting. And lament is a sacred form of prayer, because it keeps you talking to God rather than shutting Him out.God would rather hear your honest cries than your fake praise. 2. Honesty says, “This hurts.” Ingratitude says, “God isn't good.”The difference is in your posture and direction.Honesty keeps the conversation with God open, even if it's messy. It still clings to some sliver of trust: “I'm hurting, but I know You're still there.”Ingratitude, on the other hand, closes itself off. It often sounds more like accusation or bitterness rooted in resentment: “God doesn't care. He never shows up for me. Why should I trust Him?”Think of it this way:Honesty invites God into your pain.Ingratitude pushes Him out because of your pain.It's okay if you're frustrated, angry, or exhausted—but how you bring that to God makes all the difference.You can be disappointed with God and still devoted to Him. 3. Gratitude and Grief Can CoexistGratitude doesn't mean pretending everything is okay. It means looking for God's presence or goodness even when nothing is okay.You can say:“I'm so tired… but thank You for still being near.”“This hurts more than I can express… but I'm grateful I'm not alone.”“I feel lost… but I'm thankful for this one moment of peace today.”Even the tiniest glimmer of thanks—a sunset, a song, a deep breath—can anchor you in joy while you're still grieving.In hard times, gratitude isn't a feeling—it's a habit of noticing the small ways God hasn't left you.Grief says: “This is painful.”
Gratitude says: “And still, God is here.” 4. God Doesn't Want Perfection—He Wants Your HeartWe often feel like we need to clean ourselves up before coming to God. But that's not how He works. Over and over, the Bible shows us:God meets people right in their mess, questions, and brokenness.David ran to God with his tears.Elijah sat under a tree and asked to die—but God met him with rest and nourishment.Jesus wept at Lazarus's tomb—even though He knew resurrection was coming.God never says, “Come back when you're grateful.”
He says, “Come to Me, weary one. I'll carry this with you.” (Matt. 11:28) We tend to forget this scripture. We tend to want to fix ourselves before coming to God. This is crazy talk. It's like trying to fix a painting before bringing it to the painter. Or trying to fix your car before bringing it in to the mechanic. You may have some ideas of how to fix it, but they are the expert. They know the correct way to fix it and they will fix it so much faster than we will.  Bring your mess to the Lord, let Him help you clean it all up. He is so good at that. He can heal broken hearts. He can heal physical ailments. He can do all things, all we need to do is ask. God is telling us “Come to Me, weary one. I'll carry this with you.” Why are we trying to go at it alone when He is asking us to come to Him?And here's something beautiful: the very act of bringing your pain to God is an expression of faith. If you were truly ungrateful, you wouldn't be turning to Him at all.Final ReminderBeing honest about your pain is not the opposite of faith—it's often the purest form of it. Gratitude and grief can walk hand-in-hand. And your vulnerability is not a failure—it's a prayer.God isn't looking for perfect words—He's looking for your real heart.Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening. Lord, we want to trust you. We want to bring all our struggles to you. Please help us! Please help us open up to you and let you know how we are really feeling. Even if we can't be open with anyone else, Lord, please help us to be open with you. We love you so much, and we want to turn to you in our struggles. Please help us to be gentle with ourselves and to give ourselves grace. Help us to see the difference between being honest with you and being ungrateful. We ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

If you've ever felt abandoned, overlooked, or stuck asking Why, God?, this message is for you.

Revelation 8:7-9 What God DOESN'T do...

In today's message, we explore Jesus' warning about the scribes—those who sought recognition, honor, and comfort for themselves. In stark contrast, we reflect on the humble offering of the widow who gave all she had. Her sacrifice wasn't out of abundance but out of deep love, trust, and obedience to God. She knew that everything she had belonged to the Lord, and her actions revealed a heart fully surrendered to Him. Will you surrender your life to Christ?

Have you ever faulted your Dad and been upset with him for mistakes he made in your life? God doesn't make mistakes. He is your Heavenly Father if you are saved.

Habakkuk 2:4-20

Patrick Madrid opens up after the heart-shattering Texas floods that took the lives of many: including two young Catholic girls found holding their Rosaries. This isn’t a tidy theology talk; it’s a gut-wrenching, faith-clinging, grief-soaked conversation about why God allows suffering, and how we hold on when life falls apart. The Caller: Cecile from Bryan, Texas Cecile calls in, her heart cracked wide open. Her nephew just lost his best friend, his wife, and their two children. His question is one we all ask eventually: “How could God let this happen?” Patrick doesn’t pretend to have the magic answer. In fact, his first move is humility: “There is no answer that will make this okay. Not now.” But what he does offer is one of the most compassionate and theological walk-throughs of the “Problem of Evil” you’ll ever hear in Catholic media. Key Takeaways: God Is Not the Author of Evil Evil, whether moral (caused by free will choices) or natural (like floods, cancer, etc.), was never part of God’s original design. These came through the Fall: a ripple effect from the sin of Adam and Eve that distorted creation itself. Natural Disasters Are Part of a Broken World Nature itself is “off” because of sin. But this isn’t a cosmic punishment; it's a sign that we’re living in a world still groaning for redemption (Romans 8:22). God Doesn’t Just “Allow” Suffering... He Entered Into It The ultimate answer to suffering isn’t a what, it’s a who: Jesus on the Cross. God didn’t stay distant. He became a man and suffered with us, for us. A Father’s Heart Patrick shares a personal story about his toddler son, Tim, who was bleeding from a head wound. At the ER, his son cried out: “Daddy, help me!” Patrick could’ve stopped it... but didn’t, because letting the doctor stitch the wound was what would ultimately heal him. The parallel: God the Father sees us screaming in pain... and He still lets it happen; it's not because He’s indifferent, but it's because He knows the healing that’s coming later. Cecile’s Beautiful Insight: She echoes it all with such tender faith: “God is there. Just like you were with your son, Patrick. God is there, with us in it... holding us.” Yes. Amen. The Final Word: Maybe, just maybe... we’ll be like little Tim someday, looking back and finally understanding. Until then, we weep, we pray, and we cling to this promise: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” -Matthew 5:4 Take time today to pray for those affected in Texas. And if you’re struggling with your own grief, go ahead and be honest with God. Cry out. Ask why. He can take it, and He is with you. Jesus, man of sorrows, be near to those who mourn. Hold them. Heal them. And help us all to trust You, even in the dark.

This week, we’re tackling one of the most important identity questions in the Christian sobriety space: Do we really need to call ourselves “alcoholics”? In this heartfelt and truth-packed episode, we dive into why we believe that label doesn’t line up with our identity in Christ. We reflect on our own stories of what happened when we stopped letting shame define us. We explore what Scripture says about who we are in Jesus, why carrying labels from our past may keep us stuck, and how embracing our identity as beloved daughters of God opens the door to real transformation. We also get honest about generational patterns, the role of neuroplasticity in changing our behaviors, and the power of renewing our minds with God’s Word. This conversation is an invitation to get curious, be intentional, and replace the world’s labels with God’s truth. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why we don’t use the labels “alcoholic” or “addict” How identity in Christ changes everything The difference between secular freedom and freedom in Jesus The impact of generational narratives on our self-identity How neuroplasticity and biblical truth work together in our healing Why it matters what we speak over ourselves Resources Mentioned:

Does God always hear our prayers? The answer is not what we might expect. So, join us today as we study Jeremiah 11 and examine the Lord's warnings to Judah, that His judgment is about to come upon them and when it does, He won't answer their prayers.

This one's personal. I've been asked how I healed from childhood trauma and the truth is, I'm still healing. I haven't “arrived,” and maybe I never fully will this side of Heaven. But what I've learned is this: God doesn't wait for us to be whole to walk with us. He meets us in the wound.In this episode, I open up about what it looks like to follow Jesus while still bleeding. I talk about the thorn in my side, how God's word taught me to lament, and the power of being honest with God when life still hurts. If you've ever felt like you had to be “over it” to be used by God, I pray this reminds you: you don't have to be healed to be held. God sees you, He's with you, and He will get the glory, even through your thorn.instagram.com/growingthrough.pod

When you're a person of faith—someone who honored your vows before God—going through a divorce can shake you to your core. It's not just the loss of a marriage; it's the lingering question many struggle with silently: “Does God hate me because I'm divorced?”Scripture has often been misquoted or misinterpreted in ways that leave people feeling condemned, ashamed, and distanced from God—especially in Christian communities that emphasize marriage as the ultimate goal.In today's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Dharius Daniels for a real, grounded conversation about what the Bible actually says about divorce—and what it doesn't. We explore how scripture is often interpreted in ways that leave people feeling condemned, how to embrace God's forgiveness and release the weight of guilt, why singleness is not a punishment but a purposeful season, and how to trust God with what's still possible—even after divorce.Follow Dr. Dharius Daniels on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dhariusdanielsFollow Dr. Daniels on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/dharius.danielsDr. Daniels Website: https://dhariusdaniels.com/To learn more about Change Church: https://www.lifechange.org/**INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH ME 1:1 THIS SUMMER?

What if God doesn't want to erase your past… but redeem it? In this first episode of our June series, Identity in Christ, I'm diving into 2 Corinthians 5:17—“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation.” But what does that actually mean for your everyday life? And what does it reveal about God's heart? We're unpacking why your past doesn't disqualify you, how God meets you in the darkest places, and why real transformation isn't about pretending you've never messed up—it's about knowing who's holding your story now. If this resonates with you, After God's Heart, my daily devotional podcast on Patreon, is where we go even deeper into verses just like this—every single day. It's not about more information; it's about learning how to walk with God in real time and see His heart in every word of Scripture.

Are you actually repenting… or just feeling bad? In this episode of The Disciples Journal, I'm unpacking what true repentance really means—and why it's more than just saying “I'm sorry.” We're breaking down the difference between worldly sorrow and godly sorrow, what it means to “make room” for God in your life, and why repentance is ultimately about relationship, not religion. From personal stories to powerful Scripture (Romans 2:4, Acts 26, 2 Corinthians 7:10), this episode challenges you to stop settling for half-hearted faith and start living in the fullness of life that Jesus offers. Repentance is the response the gospel demands. And it's not out of guilt—it's a response to His kindness. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
