Refuge & Strength

Some people say that God answers every prayer, either by saying “yes,” “no,” or “wait.” Is that true, and if so, to what extent? What does it really look like in everyday life when God answers prayer the way we hope? We don’t have to guess. There are times when God answers prayer powerfully and clearly. Does our pursuit of God in prayer reflect faith in this truth, and how should we respond when God answers? These are the questions we'll tackle in this episode, which is why I’ve titled it “When God Answers Prayer.” Our study of Psalm 28 will provide us with clear insights into what it actually looks like when God responds and what our response should be.

On this episode of Refuge & Strength, we’ll discuss the challenge of understanding and practicing Biblical patience, especially when we’re expecting the LORD to respond to our needs. That’s why we’ve titled this episode “Waiting On The LORD.” That’s not always an easy thing to do. In fact, it’s not always clear how we are supposed to wait on the LORD either. Do we sit around doing nothing, hoping God will fix all our problems with a snap of His fingers, or is there more to it? We’re going to examine an example from Scripture so we can understand how to answer that question and apply it to our lives.

Have you ever wondered why, as a Christian, the LORD doesn’t answer some of your prayers regarding certain desires? This episode should help us realign our desires to ensure we’re in sync with the things God longs to respond to. If we have this “one desire,” we’ll likely find that our walk with the LORD and our prayer life become much more fruitful, which is why this episode is called “One Desire.” For more information or Bible teaching resources from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com To support the work of the ministry from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com/donate You can also listen to Pastor b.Side’s other podcast, which explores the attributes of God through His Old Testament names, called, “Getting To Know God.” Here are the direct links to this podcast: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ec0A2fIRgbSeODzzuCMrf Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-to-know-god/id1839302336 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFdgJTRi_Ryc5OXQ66BjB3HOHE8Uc_f3E Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cc09ada9-3b6a-4517-bb44-4da9c1cd46e0 iHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/293911188 ------------------- If you’re local to the Central Kentucky region, you can catch Pastor b.Side teach in person as he’s currently going verse-by-verse through the Book of Revelation.

When God gets a hold of someone’s life through salvation, the scriptures show that there should be a profound impact. What does this impact look like? What truly happens when someone is “born again” through faith in Jesus Christ? This episode explores Psalm 26:4-12 to understand the true effect the Gospel has on the lives of genuine believers. This study acts as a helpful “spiritual check-up” on our faith, which is why I’ve titled this episode “The Influence of God.” For more information or Bible teaching resources from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com To support the work of the ministry from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com/donate You can also listen to Pastor b.Side’s other podcast, which explores the attributes of God through His Old Testament names, called, “Getting To Know God.” Here are the direct links to this podcast: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ec0A2fIRgbSeODzzuCMrf Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-to-know-god/id1839302336 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFdgJTRi_Ryc5OXQ66BjB3HOHE8Uc_f3E Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cc09ada9-3b6a-4517-bb44-4da9c1cd46e0 iHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/293911188 ------------------- If you’re local to the Central Kentucky region, you can catch Pastor b.Side teach in person as he’s currently going verse-by-verse through the Book of Revelation.

When people think of God as “the Judge,” it often carries negative connotations, and for understandable reasons. Even the Bible itself states that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. However, as God’s children, should we be afraid of His authority and judgment? In this episode of Refuge & Strength, we break down Psalm 26:1-3 to see how God’s authority brings peace and comfort to those who believe. Tune in to learn how God shows mercy as “The One True Judge.” For more information or Bible teaching resources from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com To support the work of the ministry from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com/donate You can also listen to Pastor b.Side’s other podcast, which explores the attributes of God through His Old Testament names, called, “Getting To Know God.” Here are the direct links to this podcast: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ec0A2fIRgbSeODzzuCMrf Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-to-know-god/id1839302336 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFdgJTRi_Ryc5OXQ66BjB3HOHE8Uc_f3E Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cc09ada9-3b6a-4517-bb44-4da9c1cd46e0 iHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/293911188 ------------------- If you’re local to the Central Kentucky region, you can catch Pastor b.Side teach in person as he’s currently going verse-by-verse through the Book of Revelation.

Do you understand God’s perspective on wants and needs? The Bible instructs God's people to seek Him for what we need. We are called to trust in the Almighty to provide for us and equip us in the calling He has placed on our lives. But do we truly understand what we "need"? How can we pray and seek the LORD correctly if we don’t know how the Bible defines our "needs"? This is a vital concept, clearly explained in Psalm 25:16-22, and it's the reason this episode is titled, “Identifying The Difference Between Want And Need.” For more information or Bible teaching resources from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com To support the work of the ministry from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com/donate You can also listen to Pastor b.Side’s other podcast, which explores the attributes of God through His Old Testament names, called, “Getting To Know God.” Here are the direct links to this podcast: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ec0A2fIRgbSeODzzuCMrf Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-to-know-god/id1839302336 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFdgJTRi_Ryc5OXQ66BjB3HOHE8Uc_f3E Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cc09ada9-3b6a-4517-bb44-4da9c1cd46e0 iHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/293911188 ------------------- If you’re local to the Central Kentucky region, you can catch Pastor b.Side teach in person as he’s currently going verse-by-verse through the Book of Revelation.
