Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, everyone, this week, we're talking a little bit about prayer, and I think Alex, in his message on Sunday and in this episode, he actually says some of the things that many of us have wondered silently. He says it out loud. What's up with those prayers that don't get answered? Or the suffering that we feel and we cry out to God and it seems like he's silent. How do we deal with all of that kind of thing? Is God causing our pain? Does he not care about it? Is he not listening? These are all the kinds of questions we wrestle with today. And I'd encourage you to dive in with us. Let's begin.
