    166 | Does God hear Everyone's Prayers?

    Does God hear everyone’s prayers? In this episode, we explore what Scripture really teaches about righteousness, salvation, and effective prayer, unpacking what it means to be “righteous” not by works, but by faith in Christ (Philippians 3:9). Phylicia addresses hard questions like: Does God hear unrighteous or prideful prayers? What about the prayers of unbelievers? And do more prayers really equal more power? If you’ve ever wondered whether God hears your prayers, how humility matters, or how faith and fervency work together, this biblical teaching will bring clarity, encouragement, and gospel-centered hope.Revival in New York Article:https://www.cslewisinstitute.org/resources/revival-born-in-a-prayer-meeting/Shop Prayer ResourcesEvery Woman a Theologian Shop:https://phyliciamasonheimer.comSpring Shop launches March 12 with new prayer-focused resources and more.Watch the full Verity Podcast Prayer Series:https://www.youtube.com/@veritypodcastSubscribe to Verity Podcast:https://apple.co/veritypodcastVerity Podcast is an Every Woman a Theologian company.We believe every woman should be a theologian—every woman a student of the heart of God.Order Every Woman a Theologian:https://phyliciamasonheimer.com/product/every-woman-a-theologian-hardcover/New Release: Who Is Like Our God?

    165 | Can Satan Hear My Prayers?

    Can Satan hear your prayers? Can he block or manipulate what you ask God to do? In this episode, we answer one of the most searched questions about spiritual warfare and prayer: Is Satan omniscient—and does he have power over your prayer life? If you’ve ever felt anxiety about praying out loud or wondered whether the enemy can sidetrack your prayers, this biblical teaching will bring clarity and confidence.  Scripture makes clear that only God is all-knowing (1 John 3: 20; Proverbs 15: 3; Isaiah 40: 13–14). Satan is powerful—but limited—and his defeat is certain (Revelation 20: 10; Matthew 25: 41). We explore Ephesians 6 and 2 Corinthians 10 to understand why prayer is spiritual warfare—and how spoken prayer partners you with Christ rather than empowering the enemy.   In this episode:  – Can Satan hear my prayers?  – Can the enemy block or delay God’s answers?  – How does spiritual warfare actually work?  – Should Christians fear praying out loud?   If you want to pray with confidence instead of fear, this episode will help you rest in God’s sovereignty.   📚 Shop Prayer Resources ⦿ Every Woman a Theologian Shop ✨Spring Shop launches March 12 with new prayer-focused resources and more.   🎧 Watch the full Verity Podcast Prayer Series  Subscribe to Verity Podcast Verity Podcast is an Every Woman a Theologian company.

    164 | When God Doesn't Answer

    Why 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.

    163 | Praying God's Will

    How 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?

    161 | Can the Saints Pray for Us?

    Can we ask saints in heaven to pray for us?

  8. 160 | Why God Doesn't Need Your Hustle: Learning to Rest in Him

    10/11/2025

    160 | Why God Doesn't Need Your Hustle: Learning to Rest in Him

    What 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
