Summary

Can you really talk to God like He’s your Father? And what happens when He doesn’t answer your prayers? In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham dive deep into what it really means that Jesus tore the veil. From the Lord’s Prayer and unanswered prayer to spiritual gifts like speaking in tongues, this conversation unpacks how access to the Father changes everything. But the team didn't stop there...they also tackled a pressing cultural question: If Jesus reigns as Lord, how should Christians think about rights, government, and public policy? Learn the difference between “freedom from” and “freedom to,” why language shapes belief, and how biblical wisdom helps us think beyond simplistic solutions. This episode is about alignment: aligning your prayer life and your worldview under the authority of Christ. In this episode, you'll learn: Why calling God “Father” was radically disruptive in the first century, and what it means for your prayer life today EIGHT specific biblical reasons God may not be answering your prayers Practical, step-by-step frameworks to deepen your daily prayer life What the Bible actually teaches about praying in tongues (without hype or denial) The difference between private, prophetic, and proof tongues in Scripture Why “Do not forbid speaking in tongues” and “Let all things be done in order” both matter How to connect your theology to public policy and cultural issues The difference between a biblical definition of rights and a progressive definition of rights 👉 Subscribe for weekly conversations on faith, culture, and biblical clarity 📱 Download the Lakepointe Church App: Text APP to 20411 🧢 Comment "Hat" for a chance to win a Live Free hat, or visit livefree.shop to order! 👕 FREE T-SHIRT WEEKEND!
