164 | When God Doesn't Answer
Feb 1200:49:15Tap to summarizeWhy do some of our prayers seem to go unanswered—temporarily, long-term, or forever? How do we keep praying when answers are delayed or don't look the way we hoped? In this episode, we tackle one of the hardest questions in the Christian life: understanding God's responses to prayer when they don't match our expectations. In this episode, we examine: ✓ What does "ask anything and it will be yours" really mean? (Mark 11:24, John 15:7) ✓ The difference between prosperity gospel and biblical prayer ✓ Why faith isn't about "believing hard enough" ✓ Four reasons God delays or denies prayer requests ✓ How to trust God's character when prayers aren't answered ✓ The supernatural work happening behind our prayers ✓ Praying with persistence through long seasons of waiting If you've ever felt discouraged by unanswered prayer, this episode will help you pray with faith and hope—even in the waiting.

Feb 500:40:43Tap to summarizeHow do you pray God's will—without trying to control the outcome? In this episode, we break down what Scripture actually teaches about the will of God and how to pray in alignment with His truth and character. Learn the difference between bold, biblical prayer and self-centered or "manifesting" language, and discover how God's will is revealed through His Word—not guesswork. If you're a woman seeking clarity, confidence, and depth in your prayer life, this teaching will help you pray with boldness, humility, and trust. In this episode, we examine: ✓ What is the will of God? (Romans 12:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Micah 6:8) ✓ How to discern God's will through a renewed mind ✓ The difference between praying boldly and praying selfishly ✓ Why God doesn't always give us a "blueprint" for decisions ✓ How to pray freely without fear of getting it "wrong" ✓ Biblical prayer vs. manifestation theology 📚 RESOURCES MENTIONED: - Every Woman A Theologian website: phyliciamasonheimer.com- Verse-by-verse Bible studies: Amos & Micah, 1-3 John, Galatians, Revelation, Leviticus - Books: Every Woman a Theologian, Every Home a Foundation, Stop Calling Me Beautiful - Multi-sensory Bible Studies & Kids' Resources 📧 QUESTIONS?

Jan 2300:37:39Tap to summarizeCan we ask saints in heaven to pray for us?

160 | Why God Doesn't Need Your Hustle: Learning to Rest in Him
Oct 1100:35:53Tap to summarizeWhat if God can do more without your hustle than with it? Lisa Fields of the Jude 3 Project shares her journey from workaholic apologist to discovering that God doesn't need our striving—He wants our trust, our healed hearts, and our willingness to rest in His sufficiency. 💡 Key Scripture: "Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders' labor is in vain... He grants sleep to those he loves." - Psalm 127:1-2 The Big Truth: God doesn't need your hustle. Rest isn't avoidance or vacation—it's a posture of complete trust in God. When we truly rest in Him, He does what our striving never could, without the soul-damaging side effects. 📖 Resources Mentioned: Book: "When Faith Disappoints: The Gap Between What We Believe and What We Experience" by Lisa Fields "Ruthless Elimination of Hurry" by John Mark Comer "Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day-to-Day Devotional" Centering Prayer app 🔗 Connect: -Jude 3 Project: https://jude3project.org/ -Verity Conference 2025: https://verityconference.com -EWAT: https://phyliciamasonheimer.com/ 💭 Reflection Questions: Are you so busy doing God's work that you're not meeting with God? What "dead grass" has been buried in your heart while you kept moving? Do you like being the hero? What does that feed in your insecurity? Can you sleep in peace, or is it just avoidance? What would it look like to trust God enough to rest? ⏰ Practical Steps to Rest: Daily Silence: Start with centering prayer (work up to 30 min/day) Weekly Sabbath: Take one full day off - it's commanded, not optional Community: Let your friends be your friends (get off the pedestal) Healing: Let God show you your heart and do the work of healing

155 | Do Christians Need to Obey Old Testament Law?
Mar 22, 202500:25:45Tap to summarizeSalvation is found through faith in Jesus Christ alone—a truth that stands in contrast to a growing movement in the West of “Torah Observant Christians” who argue that Gentile believers must follow Old Testament laws to secure salvation. Phylicia, however, emphasizes a key distinction: while Jewish Christians may observe these laws as part of their cultural heritage and historical connection, such practices are not necessary for salvation. ————————————————Mentioned in this episode⭐️ Understanding the Old Testament Course: https://phyliciamasonheimer.com/product/understanding-the-old-testament-course/⭐️ Freedom from Legalism Course: https://phyliciamasonheimer.com/product/freedom-from-legalism-course/⭐️ Who the Son Sets Free | Galatians Bible Study: https://phyliciamasonheimer.com/product/galatians-bible-study/————————————————👩💻 Watch the entire Series on How to Discern False Teaching: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLybB3dkK5l8kNmt90OhxUDmJ0uoFQ5NXVSubscribe to Verity Podcast: ➡️ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/verity-by-phylicia-masonheimer/id1495210734————————————————Verity Podcast is an Every Woman a Theologian company.
