| 0:00.0 | I've been hurt by the church, and I'm afraid to go back. What do I do? That's just one of the |

| 0:38.4 | Questions at Core Christianity.com. Hey, Bill. I was just talking to our producer earlier today, and he |
| 0:46.9 | was asking me a question about one of the questions that we got yesterday. I don't know if you |
| 0:50.9 | remember, we were talking about God changing his mind and whether or not our prayers can effect a change in God's mind. |

| 1:27.8 | because it's one thing to say, and we do say it, you know, God doesn't just change his mind. He's not fickle. But then you do read these passages. And so how do we make sense of them? Well, we know that God knows all things, that there isn't anything hidden from God, that he's omniscient. |
| 1:43.4 | So when we factor that in, right, |
| 1:45.5 | we have to make sense of these texts in the light |
| 1:48.0 | of who God is and how he's revealed himself. |
| 1:51.4 | And in one sense, what they're communicating to us is the fact that our prayers truly are effective |
