17:17 Podcast

All Christians know they are supposed to pray, but where do we see evidence of prayers being answered in the Bible? 

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie answer a listener question about the power of prayer in the Bible. We know prayer matters, so we dig into plenty of Scripture to see examples of God powerfully answering prayer. We hope that this episode serves as an encouragement and reminder to you that prayer matters and God can do powerful things through it!
