Are you ever confused about how God works? If so, you are most definitely not alone! Maybe you’ve prayed tirelessly for something, only to be met with silence. Or maybe you’ve even had the exact opposite outcome from what you’d asked for. 


In this week’s episode of the Praying Christian Women podcast, author and speaker Laurie Polich Short talks about her most recent book, Faith, Doubt, and God’s Mysterious Timing: 30 Biblical Insights About the Way God Works. She shares about events in her own life that forced her to view God’s timing and plan in a different way, gives some advice for how to handle extended times of waiting on God, and discusses the importance of processing our disappointments and loss. We’d love for you to join us!

305 Advancements in Prayer Technology

On this Good Friday, we’re joined by author and Bible teacher Jessica Herberger to talk about the much-overlooked day of Holy Saturday. As we lament the death and burial of Jesus, we took some time to contemplate the in-between time when the disciples didn’t have the advantage we have of knowing what was about to come on Resurrection Sunday.
Our own lives are full of “Holy Saturday” seasons, and Jessica shares about some of her own experiences in this realm, what the Bible can teach us about how to acknowledge where we are and look to what God has for us there. We discuss tips and pitfalls for our Holy Saturday seasons, the role of prayer in processing times of grief and waiting, and the importance of bearing witness to the pain of others.
