In a world where answered prayers often feel like statistical anomalies, Dr. Deanna Shrodes poses a radical question ‘What if what usually happens was never meant to be what usually happens’?

Brent talks with Deanna Shrodes, the author of a new book from Baker Books called ‘Uncommon Answers: Partnering with the Holy Spirit to Receive Extraordinarily More’.

Deanna is the director of PF Women and the founder and director of the Stronger Leadership Network.  She’s an international speaker gifted in candid communication and a pastor in the Assemblies of God.
