Ask, Seek, Knock | Matthew 7:7-14
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
"Ask and you shall receive" gets quoted like it's the simplest math problem in the world — until you've actually lived long enough to ask for something and not get it. This week we're covering more ground than usual: prayer (verses 7-11), the Golden Rule (verse 12), and the narrow gate (verses 13-14), all in one episode.
We talk about what "keep on asking" really means, why unanswered prayer doesn't mean an absent God, why the Golden Rule is a lot harder to live than it is to cross-stitch, and why the narrow gate costs something every single time. Plus — I finally admit on mic just how terrified of snakes I actually am, and why that matters for this passage.
In this episode:
- Why "ask, seek, knock" isn't a one-time prayer
- What it means to trust God's timeline instead of our own
- The Golden Rule: going first instead of waiting your turn
- Why the narrow gate is narrow, and why most people never find it
- One simple thing to actually do with all of this, starting this week
Mentioned in this episode:
