Present Assurance, Not Immediate Fulfillment
1 John 5: 13-15
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
Episode 23: Do you want to play broken telephone?
In this episode, we explore the question “Do you want to play broken telephone?” as a lens for understanding prayer and the ways we sometimes misinterpret God’s responses. Using the childhood game as an analogy, we reflect on how silence, delay, or unexpected outcomes can distort what we believe God has said — leading us to doubt His character or goodness. Anchored in 1 John’s promise that we can approach God with confidence, knowing He hears us and answers according to His will, this conversation gently examines our personal history with prayer, our assumptions about God’s timing, and whether we truly trust His will when it looks different than we imagined.
Ultimately, the episode invites us out of the game of spiritual guesswork and into a deeper trust: Do we trust God with us?
