Got questions about prayer in the Ask A Christian Podcast? In this lively episode, host Nate tackles the big one: "Why pray if God already knows the outcome?" (spoiler: it's about relationship, alignment with His will, and participating in His plan—check out Romans 10:9 and James 5:16 for the goods). We unpack how prayer changes us more than circumstances, with a nod to CS Lewis wisdom. Then, dive into biblical archaeology proving Israel's ancient roots—like Hezekiah's royal seal discovery (: https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/news/king-hezekiah-in-the-bible-royal-seal-of-hezekiah-comes-to-light/) and a rare 3,000-year-old King David-era seal from the Temple Mount Sifting Project (details: https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/rare-3000-year-old-king-david-era-seal-discovered-by-temple-mount-sifting-project-419024). Explore "how long has Israel existed?" through biblical history (~1020 BCE united kingdom) and Megiddo exhibits (visit: https://www.museumofthebible.org/exhibits/megiddo). Plus, a sharp critique of Black Hebrew Israelites via Acts 11—salvation for all Gentiles too, no ethnic gatekeeping (Peter's vision shuts that down). Touch on Maurice Price's arrest preaching at a Florida Pride parade, Tucker Carlson on persecuted Christians, and the wild intersection of Jewish DNA, race, and religion (hint: faith beats genes). If theology feels like a puzzle with missing pieces, this episode snaps them in—with a side of ironic chuckles about Clubhouse glitches. Perfect for seekers questioning faith's mechanics. 📚 Resources & Links: Hezekiah Seal: Biblical Archaeology - https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/news/king-hezekiah-in-the-bible-royal-seal-of-hezekiah-comes-to-light/ David-Era Seal: Jerusalem Post - https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/rare-3000-year-old-king-david-era-seal-discovered-by-temple-mount-sifting-project-419024 Megiddo Exhibit: Museum of the Bible - https://www.museumofthebible.org/exhibits/megiddo Maurice Price Arrest: LifeSiteNews Coverage - (Search for latest updates on Florida preacher case) For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com Timestamps 00:00 - Intro & Anthony Freda Interview Recap 01:00 - Why Pray If God Knows the Outcome? 03:16 - Prayer Changes Us: CS Lewis & Sovereignty 06:01 - Pray in God's Will: Biblical Balance 09:05 - Participation in God's Plan 11:03 - Simple Advice: Just Pray 11:50 - Reformed Theology Tease 13:03 - Clubhouse Tech Gripes 30:00 - Persecuted Christians: Tucker Carlson Link 35:00 - Maurice Price: FL Pride Arrest 50:00 - Israel's Biblical History: How Long? 1:10:00 - Hezekiah & David Seals: Archaeology Proof 1:20:00 - Jewish DNA: Race Meets Religion 1:38:00 - Black Hebrew Israelites Critique 1:43:35 - Acts 11: Salvation for Gentiles 1:50:00 - Closing Thoughts Hashtags #AskAChristianPodcast #WhyPray #GodsWill #PrayerChangesThings #Acts11 #BlackHebrewIsraelites #BiblicalArchaeology #HezekiahSeal #KingDavid #JewishDNA #IsraelHistory #PersecutedChristians #TuckerCarlson #FaithQuestions #BibleStudy
