Have you ever wondered why God doesn't seem to answer your prayers? Maybe you've prayed for healing, restoration, direction, or someone you love—and heaven has seemed silent. If you've ever asked, Does God even care?, you're not alone. On this episode, Jenny welcomes Dr. Erwin Lutzer, pastor emeritus of The Moody Church in Chicago, where he faithfully served as senior pastor for 36 years. An award-winning author, respected theologian, and host of the worldwide radio ministry Running to Win, Dr. Lutzer has spent a lifetime helping people understand God's Word and His faithfulness. Drawing from his powerful book, "Why Doesn't God Answer My Prayers? A Biblical Guide to God's Hidden Purposes," Dr. Lutzer explains how God is at work even when His answers aren't what we expect—or when He seems silent. Dr. Lutzer helps us look at how unanswered prayer can deepen our faith, strengthen our trust, and reveal God's love in ways we may not recognize at first. Whether you're struggling with doubt, walking through a difficult season, praying for a prodigal, or searching for hope, this conversation offers biblical truth, encouragement, and practical prayers for you and those you love.

Many of us find our quiet time with God derailed by distractions and discouragement. True intimacy with God requires fighting our temptations with Him.

Donnita Travis, the founder of a Chicago after school club called By the Hand, talks with Wayne Shepherd about mentoring students in the name of Christ.  (click for more...) Website:  https://bythehand.orgIn 1997, Donita Travis—then president of a Chicago advertising agency she'd co-founded with her husband—felt called by God during a prayer retreat to help kids in Chicago live an "abundant life" (John 10:10). She spent the next three years volunteering with kids from the Cabrini-Green housing projects at Moody Church while still running her agency, before leaving the business in 2000, with her husband's blessing, to found By the Hand Club, a Christ-centered after-school program. Starting with just 16 kids in a single room in March 2001, the program has grown to serve 1,800 kids (7,000 total over the years) from kindergarten through college across six clubs in four under-resourced Chicago neighborhoods, partnering with Chicago Public Schools to reach children most at risk of dropping out and caring for them holistically in mind, body, and soul. The results have been striking: a 100% high school graduation rate, 76% of graduates continuing to higher education or the military, 60% on the honor roll, over 80% growing at least a year in reading level, and 87% professing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Running on a $17 million annual budget (which includes $1 million just for busing), the organization has finished fully funded for 23 straight years and holds a four-star Charity Navigator rating. Travis closes the interview with the story of Shacola, a student removed from her home with six siblings as a first grader and raised by her aunt, Miss Alma (now a By the Hand staff member)—Shacola is now a ninth grader reading at a 12th-grade level, on full scholarship at Culver Academy, with her younger sister following in her footsteps with a scholarship of her own.                               NEXT WEEK:  Zac Holt, The Table MinistriesSend your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.
