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
