Why God Didn't Answer Your Prayer (And What He's Doing Instead)

Ronnie Armijo Season 1 Episode 13

You did everything right. So why didn't God show up?

300 prayers. One desperate request: Save my marriage. Heal my family. Don't let my kids grow up in a broken home.

300 times, heaven was silent.

If you've ever begged God for something that truly mattered—your marriage, your kid's health, that job, that breakthrough—and heard nothing but silence, this episode is for you.

In this raw, unfiltered 20 minutes, you'll discover:

  • Why the "vending machine God" theology the church taught you is poisoning your faith
  • The brutal truth about prayer that nobody wants to say out loud (but everyone needs to hear)
  • What actually dies when God says "no" to your most desperate prayer—and why that death might be necessary
  • How unanswered prayer can become your greatest teacher instead of your biggest disappointment
  • The three decisions that determine whether your pain gets wasted or invested
  • What prayer looks like when you stop performing and start being honest with God

This isn't your typical Christian podcast episode. No sanitized testimonies. No forced silver linings. No theological gymnastics to explain away your real pain.

Just one dad's honest journey from the night he screamed at God in his car to discovering a faith that's deeper, rawer, and more authentic than anything he had before his world fell apart.

Warning: This episode challenges comfortable Christianity. It gives you permission to be angry at God. It admits that sometimes He just says "no"—and doesn't explain why.

But it also reveals what God might be building in the wreckage of what you begged Him to save.

Perfect for:

  • Dads walking through valleys they never asked to enter
  • Men whose faith is being tested by unanswered prayers
  • Fathers who are tired of pretending everything's fine when it's clearly not
  • Anyone who's ever wondered if God is actually good when life is undeniably hard

Your unanswered prayer doesn't mean God isn't listening. It means He's answering a bigger prayer—the one where He makes you into the man you were always meant to be.

Listen now and discover what God is actually doing when He doesn't do what you asked.
