In this episode, we start discussing Jesus’ “ask, seek, knock” teaching in Matthew 7:7-12. We ask why Jesus repeats and even escalates his call to prayer, and why he places no provisions or conditions on the promise to receive what we ask. Along the way, we unpack the role of persistence in prayer and how God uses prayer to teach us about what is good.
