Alan - Oklahoma City, OK (7:12) Can you define praying in the Spirit? Duncan - High River, AB (8:50) Why wasn’t King David stoned for adultery? Kevin - Kansas City, KS (15:11) I struggle with depression. One part of the bible says that if I ask believing it will be given, but Paul prayed for the thorn to be removed, yet the thorn remained. How do I make sense of these different responses? Collin - NE (18:58) My son says he saw an angel at the age of three. How do I know if that’s true?
