Every single person has a unique story. We believe stories are powerful—God has made himself known through the stories of the Bible and continues to share His goodness and faithfulness through the lives and experiences of ordinary people.
Ep. 147 Asking for a Friend | How Do I Share My Faith?
Have you ever wanted to share your faith, but weren’t sure where to start? At some point, many of us wonder: What do I even say? What if I don’t have all the answers? And how do I talk about Jesus without sounding awkward or pushy?
Maybe you worry about saying the wrong thing. Maybe you’ve had conversations that didn’t go the way you hoped. Or maybe you genuinely want the people around you to know Jesus—you’re simply trying to figure out how to talk about Him naturally in everyday life.
If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to share your faith, you’re not alone.
In this episode of Asking for a Friend, Pastor of Young Adult Ministries, Adam Derus, and Director of Student Ministries, Alex Vocature, tackle the practical question, “How do I share my faith?” They discuss common fears around evangelism, how to start meaningful spiritual conversations, and simple ways to point people to Jesus in your everyday relationships.

Ep. 146 Asking for a Friend | If God is in Control of Everything... Do My Prayers Even Matter?
God’s sovereignty is a foundational part of the Christian faith—but it can also raise honest questions. At some point, many of us wonder: If God is in control of everything… do my prayers even matter?
Maybe you’ve been told that God has a plan for all things, and it leaves you wondering what role your prayers actually play. Maybe you’ve prayed for something specific and didn’t see the outcome you hoped for. Or maybe you’re trying to make sense of how God’s will and your requests fit together.
If you’ve ever questioned the purpose of prayer, you’re not alone.
In this episode of Asking for a Friend, Pastor George May and Middle School Director, Joshua Brussel, dive into the tension between God’s sovereignty and human prayer—what Scripture reveals, how prayer shapes our relationship with God, and why it still matters, even when the answers aren’t what we expect.

Ep. 145 Asking for a Friend | Why Does God Feel Silent Sometimes?
Hearing God’s voice is something we all long for—but what about the seasons when He seems quiet? What if it doesn’t always feel clear or consistent? At some point, many of us find ourselves asking: Why does God feel silent sometimes? Is He really, or am I just not hearing Him?
Maybe you’ve been praying and don’t sense any response. Maybe you’re waiting for direction, clarity, or comfort—and nothing seems to come. Or maybe you’re unsure what His voice is supposed to sound like in the first place.
In this episode of Asking for a Friend, Worship Associate, Jason Smith, and Director of Women’s Ministries and Guest Services, Liz Rodriguez, explore how to navigate seasons when God feels quiet, what Scripture says about God’s presence, and how to remain anchored in faith even when you’re not hearing what you hoped for.
