What does modern science actually reveal about God? Philosopher and Discovery Institute senior fellow Jay Richards joins Crosswalk Talk's Michael Foust to discuss the new documentary The Story of Everything and why he believes the evidence increasingly points to an intelligent Creator. In this conversation, Richards explores the supposed conflict between science and Christianity, shares the scientific and philosophical arguments he finds most persuasive for God's existence, and explains why discoveries about the universe have strengthened -- not weakened -- the case for design. He also discusses whether the possibility of extraterrestrial life would pose any challenge to the Christian faith and what he hopes viewers will take away from the film.

What happens when our prayers become so filtered and "spiritual" that we lose the raw honesty of what we actually desire?

In this episode of the Praying Christian Women podcast, Alana and Jaime take a fun detour from their usual topics and head straight to Broadway! Using the concept of the musical theater "I want" song, they dive into Tevye's famous track "If I Were a Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof, revealing how it serves as a surprisingly profound template for authentic, uncensored prayer.

We often feel guilty bringing our "frivolous" desires to God—like wanting a financial cushion, a nicer house, or just to be respected. But by looking at Tevye's conversational honesty with the Lord, Alana and Jaime discuss how peeling back the layers of our superficial wants almost always reveals a pure, God-given desire for security, community, or peace.

To bring it home, Jaime gets remarkably candid about a recent camping trip. She unpacks her own guilt over wanting to look good in a swimsuit, tracing it down to her true "prayer behind the prayer": a beautiful, core desire to remain healthy, strong, and capable of caring for her family for years to come.

Whether you are stressing over your bank account, feeling guilty for caring about your appearance, or simply longing for a more conversational and authentic relationship with the Lord, we hope this conversation encourages you to stop editing your prayers and confidently bring your true self to the Father!
