- Can Prayer Change God’s Mind?

When you pray, is it possible that your prayers can influence God to change his mind? Or is the mind of God fixed and unchangeable? Does God ever change course based on the prayers of his people? Aaron and Chuck discuss these questions on the most recent episode of Craving Answers, Craving God available now on the at cacg.saintjamesglencarbon.org.
