Alan and Rynelle Frow lead Southlands Church, in Southern California. In this session, Alan interrogates the story of Achsah in Joshua 15. Alan begins with a quote from Charles Spurgeon, which aptly summarizes the session “This brief account of a family appears twice in the Bible, and I believe that is for good reason. It gives us a potent insight into the dynamics of prayer. Here is a picture of an earthly father called Caleb who gives a good gift to his children as they ask. God invites us to investigate the nature of their asking, and the nature of his giving, to give us a glimpse into the dynamics of prayer."
