Welcome to Vlad's Subtchuk podcast.

Our mission at Vladimir Subtchuk Ministries is to reach the world globally and disciple them digitally.

Let's dive into this episode.

What to do if I don't feel God's presence in prayer? We will talk about how to get through this dry spell

that maybe some of you are experiencing in your prayer life. Before we touch on this topic, my name is Vlad.

For those of you who are tuning in for the first time, I am a pastor of Hungry Jin Church,

as well as I release books and blogs and audiobooks and all other stuff,

and all of that information is on my website.

And all of this stuff is actually available free of charge.
