    How to Pray When God Says No—and Keep Trusting

    Have you ever prayed with faith and still heard “no”—or nothing at all? What do you do when the answer you hoped for never comes? In this episode of *The Visiting Table*, Ken and Julie explore answered prayer, unanswered prayer, and trusting God’s timing. Beginning with Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane, they uncover a simple four-part pattern: approach God as Father, believe He is able, make your request directly, and submit to His will. They also share personal stories about a long-awaited answer, a remarkable birthday prayer that led a friend to baptism, and the peace God provided at exactly the right time. Discover why prayer is not a blank check, how it changes us, and why Jesus invites us to keep asking, seeking, and knocking.

    When God Showed Up: How We Met Christ—and Each Other

    A death threat in Thailand forces Ken to face what he truly believes, while Julie discovers that life without God has left her empty. Their separate turning points begin a journey that leads them to Christ—and eventually to each other. Show Notes Ken and Julie Norton begin The Visiting Table by sharing how they met Christ—and each other. As a university freshman, Julie decided she no longer needed God directing her life. But after following her own path, she found herself alone in her dorm room admitting, “God, I’m empty.” At nearly the same time, Ken was serving as a student missionary in Thailand. After men from a local village warned that someone would be killed if the group sang and preached again, Ken faced the possibility of death—and the truth that he knew about God without truly knowing Him. What happened next changed the direction of his life. Their two stories eventually converge in friendship, Bible study, marriage and a shared desire to help others know God personally through His Word.
