Wes McAdams, Marcus Stenson · Radically Christian

Are "thoughts and prayers" just empty words, or are they more powerful than we realize? In this episode, Wes and Marcus dive into Romans 12:12 to explore the crucial difference between patience and passivity when we face the brokenness of the world. They discuss why social media and algorithm-driven news leave us feeling overwhelmed and powerless, and how virtue signaling can become a substitute for genuine prayer and action.

You'll discover why biblical patience requires agency—not abdication—and how earnest, faithful prayer actually changes things on the ground. Marcus also shares a powerful four-question framework for grounding yourself when life feels out of control. If you've ever wondered whether your prayers really matter, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.
