Twisted – Week 1 | Ask Anything

Many people have prayed and felt ignored — or watched prayer get turned into a checklist for getting whatever you want. This message names that bruising tension: unanswered prayers that push people away, guilt-laden comparisons when others seem “more faithful,” and the danger of treating the name of Jesus like a magic formula to claim wealth or comfort. The talk untangles what Jesus actually meant when he promised, “Ask in my name,” showing how prayer reshapes us first, aligns us with God’s character, and fits within the bigger story of Jesus’ life, death, and Spirit-led presence. Expect clear steps for reading scripture with context, testing motives, and praying with persistence toward God’s will — practical guidance for prayers that bring real, lasting change rather than quick fixes. Curious how asking might lead to deeper miracles instead of wishful thinking.
