Summary

One of the biggest misconceptions we can have about faith is believing that if we do this, God will do that.

But our friend, author and pastor Max Lucado is here to help us see the ways we may have adopted a transactional theology with God. He will show us how to live when we are in the gap between what we want out of life and what we get in life. God has not left us here. Understanding how big God is helps us better know and trust His character. When we view Him rightly, we can truly experience the beauty and riches of being in a relationship with our Father.

0:00.0	Life and people demand a lot from us, and sometimes it's hard to imagine setting aside time to just receive from God, to take a breath, to reset.
0:12.0	That's why at Proverbs 30 on Ministries, we've planned an entire day just for you called Reset, a Saturday to 10 to your soul.
0:20.0	This one day event is on Saturday, October 7, 2023 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
0:26.0	At the Reset event, you'll experience uninterrupted time away from the noise of your daily life by connecting with Jesus through worship and teaching from Lisa Terkerson friends.

0:57.0	Hello friends, thanks for tuning in to the Proverbs 31 Ministries podcast where we share biblical truth for any girl in any season.
1:04.0	I'm your host, Kaylee Olson, and I'm here with my co-host and dear friend, Wendy Blight.
1:09.0	Hey Kaylee, you and I have talked about how excited we are for our episode today.
1:14.0	So excited.
1:15.0	We just wrapped up with one of our favorite guests and dear friend, Max Lakado.
1:20.0	Today, Max will share some common misconceptions we have about God, especially when it comes to prayer, how he does and doesn't answer prayer, and just how we approach God in prayer.
1:32.0	Yeah, it was so good.
1:34.0	And really, the heart of his message was for those who think that because God hasn't answered their prayers in the way they wanted to, that he's given up on them.
1:43.0	And that could not be further from the truth and that's the good news here.
1:47.0	But sometimes, Wendy, I don't know about you, but I need a resource to help guide me through untangling the lie in my head that God has given up on me or he's not answering the prayers and requests that I make.
1:59.0	And so we have two resources for you.
2:02.0	If you also sometimes feel this way as well, the first resource is Max's book, God never gives up on you.
2:09.0	And the second resource is a free resource from Proverbs 31 Ministries titled Chosen, Called, and Confident five days of believing God can use you.
2:18.0	This free resource will help you overcome the lie that you are disqualified by your past as you discover how God can use even your worst mistakes for great impact.
2:27.0	And Kaylee, I want to say that those three words Chosen, Called, and Confident are so important.
2:33.0	Yeah.
2:34.0	And I think this will be such a blessing to know what those mean and to walk in them and live in that for sure.
