Why Pray If God Knows? Israel's Existed for 3000 yrs - Acts 11 Debunks Black Hebrew Israelite heresy
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 (read more: 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

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
