0:00.0 | Welcome to the live stream. Sorry. That was the worst beginning I've ever done for a video. |
0:08.7 | I still remain unprofessional as always. This is a Q&A. My name is Mike Winger. I'm here to help you learn to think |
0:14.0 | biblically about everything. That's my hope anyways. I'm not the best Bible guy in the world, |
0:19.6 | but I am a Bible guy. |
0:21.8 | So, and hopefully you are too. |
0:23.5 | The first question we have for the Q&A today is actually from Preston Murphy, who says, |

1:21.7 | Everybody out there in the world, God never hears your prayers. |
1:25.1 | And this also can create a lot of consternation with people because |
1:28.5 | they can start to feel hopeless and feel like, yeah, if God's not going to hear my prayers, what's the |
1:32.1 | point? I give up. It's always the voice of Satan if you're thinking, oh, I'll just give up seeking God. |
1:37.4 | I'll give up serving and trusting in Christ. I'll just give up. That's always the voice of the enemy. |
1:43.8 | God's desire and preference and open door to you is always that of restoration and that of forgiveness and that of drawing near to him. |
