Just because we think God is silent, it doesn’t mean He’s not working to carry out His plans. In this episode, Cara and Dot talk about the silent years, when God stopped speaking through the prophets for 400 years leading up to the birth of Jesus. They explain how God’s plan is always at work in the background, and they talk about some of the different ways that Christians today can experience God’s voice even when He doesn’t directly answer our prayers. Pour yourself a cup of coffee and listen in to the conversation!
