Listen "Stop Being Polite With God: A Call to Real Faith"
Episode Synopsis
Father Shawn McCain Tirres | October 19, 2025
When's the last time you truly wrestled with God—not with polite prayers, but with honest, frustrated demands? Drawing from Jacob's all-night wrestling match and Jesus's parable of the persistent widow, Fr. Shawn challenges us to embrace a faith that refuses to give up, that's unafraid to get our hands dirty with God. This sermon calls us beyond cynicism and into the kind of stubborn, enduring faith grounded in prayer, scripture, and community that God is actually looking for.
