What do you do when you're doing all the right things—praying, believing, even fasting—but the breakthrough doesn’t come? In this deeply honest episode, we unpack the moment Jesus heals a demon-possessed boy and challenges his disciples on the true nature of faith, dependence, and spiritual readiness. This one’s for everyone who’s ever wrestled with unanswered prayer.

✅ The hidden role of prayer and fasting in sustaining Kingdom power

✅ How different Gospel accounts highlight faith, prayer, and awe
