S3 Ep8 Rooted in His Presence

What happens when you've prayed for years…and the answer still hasn't come?

In this deeply personal conversation, Tim sits down with clinical psychologist and author Dr. Andrea ("Anny") Ganahl to explore one of the hardest realities of following Jesus: trusting God in the middle of unanswered prayer.

Beginning in John 21:15–19, where Jesus lovingly restores Peter after he denies him, Anny reflects on what it means to follow Christ when the future feels uncertain and anxiety threatens to take hold.

Drawing from both her professional expertise and her own family's ongoing journey with a prodigal son, Anny shares how God has gradually shifted her focus by faithfully revealing his presence.

Together they discuss:

• Why anxiety often grows from trying to control an unknown future
• The difference between asking God to align with our plans versus allowing our hearts to align with his
• How listening prayer has transformed Anny's relationship with God
• Practical ways journaling and Christian community help renew anxious minds
• Why God's presence often becomes the greatest answer before our prayers are fully answered
• How courage grows through waiting, not just through miracles

Whether you're carrying unanswered prayers, walking alongside someone you love, or simply longing for deeper intimacy with Jesus, this conversation offers hope that God is at work, even in our waiting.
