Do you feel like you could improve your prayer life? Is your prayer life in need of a recalibration? 
This episode Laviniu and Daniel discuss what might be some of the reasons our prayer life is not at the caliber that it should be.

In this episode, Laviniu and Daniel navigate the turbulent waters of ‘God’s calling' for our individual lives. Confusion, misunderstanding, and manipulation are just a few names of the waves that disorient the boat of our life, which seeks to reach the ‘God’s Will’ coast. Frequently, Romanian Pentecostal Christians are severally puzzled by questions such as: What is God calling me to do? How do I know that God is really calling me and is not my own desire or the insistence of a church leader? How can I be sure that God is calling me to do a certain ministry, not the other?

Where does Death come from – God or Satan? 
The Personified Death in Revelation works under Satan’s command or God’s? How should be death morally defined – good or bad? Why and on what grounds? 

What would be the Christian response in front of contemporary society when a natural disaster such as a tsunami, tornado, or earthquake, transpires and causes the death of thousands of people? 
Is God responsible for the death of innocent people or should Satan be blamed for it all? How does this view interact with the attributes of God’s justice and goodness? 

How would the redemptive character of God’s judgment influence the view on terminal disease into the Christian community? If God’s judgment manifested via famine, disease, or natural calamity, but is redemptive in nature, should Christians pray for divine intervention? Knowing that God’s judgment is redemptive in nature, what might be the reasons for still having a negative perception of death in the Christian community?

How might self-control be defined from a Christian stand-point?  Is there anything to include here about small things like food, physical training, or
technology consumption? 

What is the importance and role of self-control in one’s life? 
What are the implications of ‘self-control’ as a fruit of the Spirit? 
Is there any connection between sin and lack of self-control? 
Don’t we blame maybe too many times Satan for tempting and making
us sin, while the truth is that we tempt ourselves and fall due to our own lack of self-control?

What might be the ways in which a Christian can develop and cultivate the virtue of self-control?
