Pondering Perplexing Prayer & People Problems – Woodley & Godwin on SBE

Erik Guzman August 21st, 2009

Steve often says that pagans don't pray because they're afraid God might be there, and Christians don't pray because they're afraid he might not be.

When it feels like God's ignoring you, or worse, messing with you, it can put a strain on the relationship. Join us on this week's Steve Brown Etc. as we talk with Matt Woodley about practicing the absence of God.

Then, we go from dealing with a difficult God to dealing with difficult people. We also talked with Dr. Alan Godwin about solving your people problems.

Dr. Godwin is a licensed psychologist and the author of How to Solve Your People Problems: Dealing with Your Difficult Relationships. Since 1990, he has dedicated himself to helping couples, businesses, churches and individuals develop better ways of handling conflict. Find out more at PeopleProblems.org.

Matt Woodley is the author of The Folly of Prayer: Practicing the Presence and Absence of God. Check out Matt's blog. Then, email MattWoodley77@yahoo.com, tell him you heard him on SBE and he'll send you a free study guide based on the material in his book.
