Have you heard of the term “manifesting”? It’s become quite a buzz word in recent years, particularly in secular circles. Some Christians believe it’s New Age or even evil, while others embrace it as compatible with scripture. Join us today for Part 2 of a 2-part series were we analyze what manifesting is, look into what scripture says on the matter, and come to some pretty interesting conclusions about whether manifesting has a place in a Christian’s prayer life.

We’ve talked a lot on this podcast about longing for answered prayer, celebrating answered prayer and everything in-between. But we don’t often talk about the prayers we look back on and thank God he didn’t answer the way we wanted!
This week we share some times we prayed for something that in retrospect wouldn’t have been the best thing. Then we springboard into an exercise that can help when things don’t go as planned, to help us keep in mind that God really does know best!

If you've been around for a while, you know we're dog lovers. That's why we're incredibly excited to bring you a very special episode of the podcast: This week we sat down with Larry Randolph and Jennifer Marshall Bleakley to talk about their book Finding Grace: The Inspiring True Story of Therapy Dogs Bringing Comfort, Hope, and Love to a Hurting World.


Larry and his wife Susan co-founded Canines for Christ in 2007, and since then they’ve seen the therapy dog program grow into an international volunteer-based ministry reaching hundreds of thousands of people with God’s love.


Join us as Larry and Jennifer talk about the surprising role prayer played in Canines for Christ becoming a ministry, some of the ways they've seen therapy dogs open doors for prayer and ministry, and the power of therapy dogs to bring the love of God to a hurting world.
