Why is it so hard to ask—for help, for opportunities, for the sale? Jesus said, “Ask and it shall be given” (Matt. 7:7), yet many of us hesitate, held back by old programming that says asking is greedy or selfish. In this episode, I open up about my own struggles and how childhood messages still shape the way we live today.

We have the power to choose how we respond to the troubles in our lives. Are you making a conscious choice or reacting unconsciously? Listen in to learn more. 

We often question whether God will answer our prayer or do what He says He'll do. 

In this episode I look at Ezekiel 12:25, "For I am the Lord! If I say it, it will happen. There will be no more delays" (NLT). God must do what He says He will, or He becomes a liar. 

Listen in and be encouraged.
