Prayer alone isn't enough

We hear a lot about thoughts and prayers in our culture. But if we're honest, prayer alone isn't enough. The single biggest way God chooses to work on earth is through the action - alongside the prayers - of people.


This week we talk about that reality along with how our prayer life should change the way we view the world as well as the things we care about.


And we play this season's favorite game: What unChristian executive order or policy statement was said this week?!
