What Do You Do When God Feels Silent?

The Knicks came back from 29 down in the NBA Finals, and Brian From turns it into the question of the hour: how do you keep going when every circumstance is telling you to quit? That thread runs all the way to the close, where Relevant Magazine asks what to do when God feels like He's ignoring you — when the pregnancy announcement belongs to someone else, the promotion went to the person you're training, and the calling you've been waiting for landed on someone you discipled. God doesn't ignore His children. Delay isn't neglect. But that's easier to say than to hold. Then: Gen Z doesn't want to be called Protestant — they want to be called just Christian, and there's something worth affirming and something worth being cautious about in that shift. The Southern Baptist Convention's Truth and Unity Amendment passes with 74% of the vote, and what it says about the direction the denomination is heading. JD Greear weighs in on spontaneous baptisms — and makes the case that every single baptism in the New Testament was spontaneous. Does character still matter in our politicians? Brian says yes, and makes the uncomfortable point that it only counts if you apply the standard to your own party too. The historical evidence for Jesus outside the Bible is stronger than most Christians realize. And a word for anyone who's been quietly treating unanswered prayer as evidence of insufficient faith: that's not what the Bible teaches.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
