Have you ever prayed... and felt like God was silent?

Prayer is something every Christian knows they should do, but many quietly struggle with. Why does it feel so hard? Does God really hear us? And what do we do when the answer isn't what we hoped for?

In this episode, Shane sits down with Little Flock's Discipleship Pastor, Dr. Stan, for an honest conversation about one of the most important and misunderstood parts of following Jesus.

From childhood prayers to unanswered prayers, from anxiety to trust, this conversation gently reminds us that prayer isn't about saying the right words. It's about knowing the heart of the Father.

Whether you're in a season of confidence or a season of silence, this episode will encourage you to keep coming back to God.

Because sometimes the greatest work God does through prayer...

What Does The Bible Say About Government?

In today's message, Pastor Nate explored what Scripture teaches about government and the responsibility of followers of Jesus in a world often marked by political division and cultural uncertainty. Rather than allowing current events or public opinion to shape our perspective, we were challenged to let God's Word guide our thinking and our response.

From Romans 13, we were reminded that God created government and continues to work through imperfect leaders to accomplish His purposes and maintain order in a fallen world.

In 1 Peter 2:9–17, Pastor Nate emphasized that followers of Jesus are called to respect governing authorities. As God's chosen people, our conduct should reflect honor, humility, and obedience that points others to Christ.

Looking to Jeremiah 29:4–7, we were challenged to influence the culture rather than be influenced by it. God calls His people to pray for their neighbors, seek the good of their communities, promote Kingdom values, and intentionally serve those around them.

Finally, Philippians 3:20–4:1 reminded us that our greatest hope is not in government but in Jesus Christ. As citizens of Heaven, we can stand firm in the Lord, confident that our Savior is reigning and that His Kingdom will endure forever.

Stand firm in the Lord.

What does it look like to grieve without losing hope?

In this deeply personal episode, Kyle and Kayla Conder share their journey through infertility, a failed adoption, the joy of bringing two adopted children home, and the heartbreaking loss of a miscarriage. They speak honestly about unanswered prayers, seasons of doubt, and the difficult questions that suffering often brings.

More importantly, they share how God met them in their grief, reshaped their perspective, and taught them that hope isn't found in getting the outcome we want. It's found in the unchanging character of Christ.

Whether you're walking through loss yourself or trying to help someone who is, this conversation is a reminder that grief and hope can exist together.

God is not distant—He has made Himself known, and He continues to pursue people with His grace.

In today's message from Romans 10:18–21, Pastor Nate reminded us:

• God reveals Himself plainly to us.

• God desires a people who respond to Him and live differently.

• God initiates salvation and genuinely desires for people to come to know Him.

What an incredible reminder that our God is patient, gracious, and continually calling people to Himself. Our response should be one of faith, obedience, and a life that reflects the hope of the gospel.

Fight to Be a Man of God

1 Timothy 6:11-13

Pastor Nate challenged us to live with intentionality and conviction as we follow Christ.

To be a man of God—and a faithful follower of Jesus—we must:

• Remember who you are

• Know what to pursue

• Fight for what's important

• Give yourself fully to experience life in Christ

The Christian life is a fight worth fighting. When our identity is rooted in Christ and our focus is on eternal things, we can faithfully pursue the life God has called us to live.

In this week’s message from Romans 10:14-17, Pastor Nate showed how Paul's focus shifts from the message of salvation to the mission of salvation. God has chosen to use the proclamation of the Gospel to bring people to faith and make Jesus known.

1. The power of the Gospel spreads through the preaching of the Gospel.

God's plan for reaching the world is through His people faithfully sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.

2. The Gospel transforms those who hear and believe.

As people receive, understand, and respond to the message of Christ, their lives are changed by the power of the Gospel.

3. The power of the Gospel rests in the power of God's Word.

Faith does not come from human wisdom or persuasion, but from hearing the truth of God's Word proclaimed.

As followers of Jesus, we are called to take part in God's mission by faithfully sharing the Gospel and trusting Him to work through His Word.

This Sunday, Pastor Nate continued our journey through Romans by reminding us that every person faces a choice regarding the path to righteousness.

Paul makes it clear that righteousness is not achieved through our own efforts but is found through faith in Jesus Christ. The path of righteousness requires us to acknowledge the Lordship of Jesus—to recognize Him as Savior and King over every area of our lives.

How do we grow in the Lordship of Jesus? Pastor Nate challenged us to:

• Know the Scriptures

• Know our new identity in Christ

• Pay attention to what we think about

When we walk the path of righteousness through faith in Christ, God provides incredible blessings. We receive justification before God, salvation through Jesus, and the removal of shame. Because of Christ, those who trust in Him can stand confidently, knowing they are forgiven, redeemed, and secure in Him.

The question for each of us is simple: Which path are we choosing, and is Jesus truly Lord of our lives?
