    #159 What difference does prayer make? Tom shares his prayer habits

    #159 What difference does prayer make? Tom shares his prayer habits

    Tom answers listener questions on prayer including: 'Is prayer just telling God what to do?' and 'What difference does prayer make if God has already decided what to do?'. Kelly is nervous about praying out loud before a meal in public, and Jennifer is questioning the legitimacy of public displays of prayer in the USA. Tom responds to these questions and shares his own habits of prayer, including keeping a prayer diary.

    #158 Why don’t I hear from God any more?

    CORRECTED AUDIO UPLOADED!
    Tom and Justin are back with a fresh batch of questions from listeners who are having trouble hearing from God. Nicole asks why 'Ask and you shall receive' doesn't seem to work in practise? Shelagh says she doesn't hear from God the way she used to - is it because of disobedience? Robert asks how you can tell if you have misheard from God? Tom also gives an update on his health and work and reflects on how he hears from God.

DannyButterworth ,

Great and Refreshing Resource

This is a wonderful project that brings NT Wright closer to each of us every week. Thank you Professor Wright for your insight and ability to bring the Biblical narrative into the 21st century with a critical understanding of the first century context. I always enjoy and appreciate the dialogue. Many thanks.

DJ DI Bass ,

Please be warned…

Be careful who you listen to this podcast with…. Started listening to this podcast with a friend and fell deeply in love with Tom, Justin and this “friend”. Soon that “friend” and I got married and took our honeymoon in the UK just to stop by a conference just to see Tom (we hope to see you Justin one day soon) and thank him! Just be careful is all I’m saying ;)
Cheers to all of you! We can’t get enough and have some great theology and a great marriage to thank you both for!!!

Much love,
Anna and Ronell (from Canada)

Ramah321 ,

Thank you!

I’m so thankful to have found this podcast! So many of the questions asked are also my own; what a comfort to know I’m not the only one!
