God Still Hears a Sinner's Prayer

A Faith That Can Be Tested

In this episode, Dr. Charlotte Harris reflects on Job’s faith and challenges listeners to ask whether they live in a way that God could confidently say, “Consider my servant, Mary.” The message highlights three reasons Job’s faith could be tested and trusted: he respected God, reverenced God, and was regarded by God. Ultimately, the episode encourages believers to grow in faith, remain prayerful, and be willing to say, “Lord, consider me.”

Go When God Says Go!

The teaching highlights that staying in familiar places, relationships, or environments can delay God’s purpose, while obedience opens the way for blessing, growth, and a new season.
