Praying For God's Glory

How does trusting God through unexpected loss, waiting, and unanswered prayers reshape the way we talk to Him?In this message, church member Ryan Yokubaitis shares a deeply personal account of his and his wife Catherine’s journey through infertility, miscarriage, and waiting. Unpacking Jesus's teachings on prayer in Matthew 6 and the surrounding New Testament terms for petitioning God, Ryan explores what it truly means to ask God to move in powerful, world-changing ways.
