Many believers wrestle with the same question: if God hears our prayers, why do some requests seem unanswered?

In this episode of FaithFuel, Bob Shaw walks through 1 John 5:14–15 and explains how God truly does answer every prayer — though His answers are not always the “yes” we expect. Sometimes the answer is no, sometimes it’s not yet, and sometimes it unfolds differently than we imagined.

Even when outcomes are unclear, believers can trust that every prayer is heard and that God responds with wisdom, love, and eternal perspective.

“Work out your salvation with fear and trembling.” That phrase in Philippians 2:12 can sound intimidating if it’s misunderstood.

In this episode of FaithFuel, Bob Shaw explains the difference between working for salvation and working out salvation. Scripture makes it clear that salvation is a gift of grace through Christ, not something we earn through effort.

When believers grow in obedience, they’re not trying to achieve God’s love — they’re responding to a new life already placed within them.
