What does it really mean to pray for a miracle, and why do sincere prayers sometimes seem to go unanswered? In this episode, I sit down with Anthony DeStefano to explore faith, prayer, miracles, and the tension many Christians feel between trust in God and disappointment when outcomes don't unfold as hoped. We talk about how miracles are understood in Christian theology, why anxiety can quietly undermine faith, and how prayer often requires holding paradoxes at the same time—action and surrender, courage and fear, precision and openness to God's will. Anthony draws from decades of writing, teaching, and theological reflection to offer a grounded, compassionate framework for praying with honesty, peace, and perseverance, even in suffering. If you've ever struggled with unanswered prayer or wondered how faith works in real life, I invite you to listen, reflect, and share your thoughts in the comments—and don't forget to subscribe for more thoughtful conversations on faith, meaning, and the inner life.
