    Are You Allowed to Doubt God?

    You're the one people call. The steady one. The one everyone else borrows faith from on their worst days. But lately, there's a question you haven't said out loud. Not to your small group, not in worship, maybe not even fully to yourself: is God actually paying attention to any of this? In this episode, we sit with a man who knew that exact tension. John the Baptist was the most certain person in Scripture. He's the one who pointed at Jesus in front of a crowd and called him the Lamb of God. But later, sitting in a prison cell, that same John sent his own followers to ask Jesus directly: "Are you the one, or should we expect someone else?" His doubt didn't disqualify him. It didn't undo what he'd already believed. And it doesn't undo yours either. This week's question: Are you allowed to doubt God? In this episode: Why the "strong one" often carries the heaviest unspoken doubtThe real difference between doubt and unbelief, and why that difference mattersJohn the Baptist's story in Matthew 11, and what Jesus actually says in response to his doubtA verse worth writing down for the next time doubt catches you off guardPractical ways to bring your doubt to God instead of hiding it behind a smileThis is part three of our five-part series, What's Behind Your Smile? — five weeks of asking what we're really carrying underneath the version of ourselves everyone else gets to see. You don't have to pretend you're fine for the One who already knows you're not. 🎧 New episodes every week. Subscribe so you never miss a question.

    What Are You Afraid They'd See?

    Some of us aren't just tired. Some of us are managing something specific: a name, a season, a version of ourselves we've built a whole avoidance strategy around, just so certain people never connect the dots. This week continues What's Behind Your Smile? with a question one layer deeper than where we started. If "fine" is the general cover story, this episode asks what's underneath the specific one. Melissa sits with the woman at the well in John 4, a woman who'd learned to time her entire day around not being seen by anyone who knew her story. And in the middle of the one conversation she didn't manage or avoid, Jesus already knew everything and stayed anyway. This episode is for anyone who has ever checked the parking lot before walking into a room. "You don't have to pretend you're fine for the One who already knows you're not."

    Is Anyone Actually Fine?

    Is anyone actually fine? Or have we all just gotten really good at saying it? Welcome to a brand new series: What's Behind Your Smile? Over the next five episodes, we're taking an honest look at what people are quietly carrying behind the version of themselves the world gets to see. In this opener, Melissa talks about the reflex answer we give without even checking if it's true, why "fine" has become the price of admission into a normal conversation, and what 1 Samuel 16:7 has to say about a God who was never fooled by the outward appearance in the first place. Because while people look at what's on the surface, God has always been looking at the heart. This episode is for anyone who's tired of managing how they come across — including with God. "You don't have to pretend you're fine for the One who already knows you're not." If this one speaks to you, share it with someone who might need the reminder today. 🔗 Take the next step at myquestionforyou.com — and join the free weekly email, A Quiet Invitation, for a short word of encouragement each week.

    What Would It Cost You to Pray It Again?

    Somewhere along the way, you stopped praying for it. Maybe you called it making your peace. Maybe you called it being realistic. Maybe you never called it anything at all — the prayer just slipped off the list, and you never noticed the day it went quiet. And here's the lie most of us believe about coming back: that you have to fix the reason first. That you have to stop being tired, get over the disappointment, lose the fear, or finally feel like you matter — and then you're allowed to pray again. You don't. This is the finale of The Prayers I Stopped Praying — and it's the one where we stop naming the prayers we set down and finally pick one back up. Over this series, we've walked through five reasons a prayer goes quiet: the situation that dragged on, the silence after an unanswered prayer, the fear of what God might ask, the person who never changed, and the prayer you stopped praying for yourself. Five different reasons. One thing in common: a conversation with God that used to be happening… and stopped. This week, Melissa gathers the whole series and answers the question underneath all of it — what would it cost you to pray it again? — with a light look at Jacob, who wrestled God in the dark and walked away both blessed and limping. Because coming back might cost you something. But you don't leave that kind of encounter empty-handed. You don't have to pray it perfectly. You just have to pray it again. — 🎧 New here? This finale stands on its own — but the whole series was built to be heard together. Start at Episode 8 and walk the whole way through The Prayers I Stopped Praying. 💬 Carry this into your week: What's one prayer you set down that it's time to pick back up? Tell us in a review or a comment — and if someone came to mind while you listened, send them this episode. 🔗 Take the next step at myquestionforyou.com — and join the free weekly email, A Quiet Invitation, for a short word of encouragement each week.

    Did You Stop Praying for Yourself?

    When life falls apart, most people have someone they call. The steady one. The one who prays, who checks in, who always seems to show up. Maybe that person is you. So here's a question worth sitting with: when life falls apart for you — who do you call? And when did you last pray as hard for yourself as you pray for everyone else? This week on My Question for You, we're naming the prayer a lot of faithful people quietly set down somewhere along the way: the one for themselves. My Question for You is this — did you stop praying for yourself? We'll sit with the half of Jesus' greatest command most of us skip right past — "love your neighbor as yourself" (Mark 12:31) — and what it quietly costs a heart to keep putting its own hopes off until later (Proverbs 13:12). And we'll talk about why the God who's heard you go to bat for everyone else has been waiting, this whole time, for you to ask Him for you (Matthew 7:7–11). Because somewhere along the way, you decided you were the one person on that list who could wait. You're not. And this might be the week you pick that prayer back up. — Carry this into your week: What's one prayer you used to pray for yourself that you've gone quiet on? And if someone came to mind while you read this — the one who's always the strong one, always praying for everybody else — send them this episode. They might need the reminder that they're allowed to be on the list too. 🔗 Take the next step at myquestionforyou.com — and join the free weekly email, A Quiet Invitation, for a short word of encouragement each week.

    Are You Still Praying for Them?

    There's a name you used to bring to God all the time. And somewhere along the way — without ever really deciding to — you stopped. Maybe it's a child who walked away. A sibling who went quiet. A friend on the same loop you've watched for years. Someone who hurt you. You prayed for them, you really did… until somewhere in there you quietly concluded they were never going to change — and the prayer went quiet right along with that thought. This week, Melissa sits with the prayers we stopped praying for other people — and asks the question underneath the question: Did you stop praying for them… or did you stop believing they'd change? Because sometimes what we call acceptance is really unbelief wearing acceptance's clothes. Through the story of Samuel — a man rejected by the very people he'd led, who still called quitting on them a sin against God — and the greatest commandment Jesus ever gave, this episode reframes what intercession was always about. You weren't praying to fix them. You were praying to obey a God who told you to love your neighbor — and who has never once given up on you. You're not praying for them to change. You're praying because you refuse to stop loving them the way God never stopped loving you. Bring a journal. There's a name waiting to be picked back up. 🎧 Part 4 of the series The Prayers I Stopped Praying. 🔗 Take the next step at myquestionforyou.com — and join the free weekly email, A Quiet Invitation, for a short word of encouragement each week.

    What If You're Afraid of What He'll Ask?

    You ever look at your phone, see who's calling, and just… let it go to voicemail? Not because you don't love them. You do. But you knew the second you saw the name on the screen — if you pick up, they're going to ask you for something. And you don't have it in you to say yes right now. A lot of us have been doing the exact same thing with God. In Episode 3 of The Prayers I Stopped Praying, Melissa asks the question we don't always want to ask out loud: What if you're afraid of what He'll ask? Together, we'll sit with a man in Mark 10 who ran up to Jesus and asked the boldest question a person can ask. He got an answer. And the answer touched the one thing he wasn't ready to hand over. This isn't the prayer that didn't get answered. This is the prayer that did. And what we do with that might be the most honest conversation you've had with God in a long time. 🎧 The prayer that scares us most isn't the one God ignores — it's the one He answers. 🔗 Take the next step at myquestionforyou.com — and join the free weekly email, A Quiet Invitation, for a short word of encouragement each week.

    Did You Stop Praying Because He Didn't Answer?

    You ever apply for a job you really wanted? You spent hours on it. You tailored the resume. You wrote and rewrote the cover letter. You hit submit, and you waited. A day. A week. Two weeks. Nothing. And the worst part wasn't getting a no. Because at least a no is an answer. The worst part was the silence. A lot of us have been praying like that. In Episode 2 of The Prayers I Stopped Praying, Melissa asks: Did you stop praying because He didn't answer? Together, we'll sit with Mary and Martha — two women who felt completely ignored by Jesus when their brother was dying — and with Jesus Himself in Gethsemane, asking honestly if there's another way. Because both stories tell us the same thing: the silence on a specific prayer isn't the same as God being absent from the asking. He may not have changed your circumstances. But He has never once left the room. 🎧 Six weeks. Six prayers worth picking back up. 🔗 Take the next step at myquestionforyou.com — and join the free weekly email, A Quiet Invitation, for a short word of encouragement each week.
