Have you ever prayed hard for something - maybe for someone to be healed or for a job or for a healed relationship - and you didn't get the answer you were hoping for? Have you felt like God said "no" to your prayer? It can be very difficult for us when our prayers aren't answered the way we hope they would be. But what does this say about God and what does it say about us? How should we approach things when God says no? 

For this episode, host Jason Wieland is joined by Saddleback Church Teaching Pastor Buddy Owens to talk about when God says no. Jason and Buddy talk about what we should know about prayer and how it affects what we expect as a response from God, the reality of not understanding all of God's ways, the role of faith and much more.
