  • When God Doesn’t Answer Your Prayer | Noah Filipiak
    Sep 1 2026
    What happens when you pray faithfully—and nothing seems to change?Pastor and author Noah Filipiak joins Karen Potter and Rob Stoddard on the Covenant Eyes Podcast for an honest conversation about unanswered prayer, suffering, temptation, technology, burnout, and learning to trust God when life doesn't turn out the way you hoped.Noah shares how his own journey led him back to the Psalms and ultimately inspired his new 40-day devotional, Shelter in the Storm: 40 Psalms on God’s Faithfulness.The Psalms don't pretend that following God means life will always work out the way we expect. They give us language for grief, anger, fear, disappointment, and even the moments when God seems silent. As Noah explains, there's freedom in realizing that we don't have to hide those emotions from God.The conversation also explores an important connection: when circumstances don't change, we often look for ways to escape what we're feeling. For some, that can mean unhealthy digital habits, fantasy, isolation, or other coping mechanisms. Noah explains why real healing requires more than simply changing behavior—it requires community, honesty, spiritual formation, and a deeper understanding of God's faithfulness.You'll also hear Noah discuss:• Why unanswered prayer can create a crisis of faith• What the Psalms teach us about suffering• How instant gratification is shaping our expectations of God• Why social media can distort our perception of reality• How Jesus understands suffering personally• Why boundaries and margin matter for avoiding burnout• The power of vulnerability and Christian community• How Beyond the Battle is helping men find lasting connection and support• Noah's new devotional, Shelter in the StormNoah's message is especially powerful for anyone who has ever wondered: “God, why aren't You changing this?”Learn more about Noah Filipiak: https://NoahFilipiak.comBeyond the Battle groups: https://BeyondTheBattle.netLook for Shelter in the Storm: 40 Psalms on God's Faithfulness from Our Daily Bread Publishing.Subscribe to the Covenant Eyes Podcast for more conversations about faith, relationships, recovery, accountability, and living with integrity in a digital world.Wonder if you are addicted to porn?Take the free PAUS Assessment and find out!https://cvnteyes.co/testThe description's recovery connection comes directly from Noah's explanation that difficult circumstances can drive people toward unhealthy coping mechanisms and that they may not recognize the connection between their circumstances and their struggle.#UnansweredPrayer #TrustGod #ChristianPodcast #Faith #Psalms #CovenantEyesChapters00:00 When God Doesn't Answer Right Away00:36 Meet Noah Filipiak01:12 Noah's Story & Beyond the Battle02:36 Introducing Shelter in the Storm03:24 Why We Turn to Unhealthy Coping05:23 The Problem With the “Santa Claus” View of God06:30 What Happens When Prayer Isn't Answered?07:14 Finding God in the Psalms09:09 Fear, Anxiety & Hope in Scripture09:55 How Technology Changed Our Expectations10:21 Growing Up in an Instant-Gratification World12:08 Fantasy vs. Reality12:57 Can We Be Angry With God?14:20 When Our Picture of God Shatters15:05 There Is No Prayer Formula16:15 Why Christians Need Lament17:27 Mental Health, Struggle & Elijah18:06 Learning How to Suffer Well19:07 Jesus Understands Our Suffering21:18 Noah's Battle With Burnout22:08 Creating Healthy Limits & Boundaries24:32 Making Space for What Matters25:30 How Beyond the Battle Works26:32 Why Long-Term Community Matters28:47 Why Recovery Needs Community29:29 Why Online Groups Can Work30:24 Noah's New Book & Resources32:05 Closing ThoughtsSend us your feedback!Try Covenant Eyes for FREE today!Use Promo Code: FreePodcast © 2026 Covenant Eyes, All Rights Reserved

  • Can the Bible Be Taught During the Public School Day? | Nate Lundquist
    Aug 25 2026

    Can the Bible be taught to public school students during the school day? Nate Lundquist, filmmaker behind the documentary *Off School Property*, joins Karen Potter to explore the relationship between the Bible, public education, and an opportunity many Christian parents don't know exists.

    Nate shares how his work with LifeWise Academy inspired *Off School Property*, a documentary examining the history of the Bible and American public education and how optional Bible education can be offered to public school students during school hours.

    In this conversation, Nate explains how released-time Bible education works, including three important criteria: instruction takes place off school property, is privately funded, and requires parental permission. He and Karen also discuss common misconceptions, opposition from school boards, the role of parents and local communities, and why Nate believes Christians should better understand both the history and the opportunities available today.

    You'll also hear why Nate created *Off School Property*, what he hopes Christian parents take away from the film, and how communities interested in Bible education can explore starting a LifeWise Academy program.

    **In this episode:**
    • Can Bible education happen during the public school day?
    • What is LifeWise Academy?
    • Why *Off School Property* was created
    • The history of the Bible and public education
    • Common misconceptions about released-time Bible education
    • The role of parental permission and private funding
    • How Christian parents can get involved in their communities
    • Where to watch *Off School Property*

    If you're a Christian parent with children in public school—or you're interested in the relationship between faith, education, parental rights, and American culture—this is a conversation worth watching.

  • Why Christian Men Need Other Men | Faith, Work & Discipleship
    Aug 11 2026

    Christian men weren’t meant to navigate work, leadership, temptation, and faith alone.

    In this episode of the Covenant Eyes Podcast, Rob Stoddard sits down with Matt Trayler of CBMC (Christian Business Men’s Connection) to talk about what it looks like for men to live out their Christian faith in the workplace—and why discipleship, mentorship, and authentic community matter so much.

    Matt explains how CBMC helps Christian businessmen, young professionals, executives, and other leaders discover a purpose that goes beyond a paycheck or job title. He also shares the importance of “Paul and Timothy” relationships: godly men intentionally discipling other men through encouragement, vulnerability, accountability, and life-on-life relationships.

    You’ll hear about:
    • How Christian men can live out their faith at work
    • Why identity shouldn’t be tied to a paycheck or title
    • The importance of Christian mentorship and discipleship
    • Why successful leaders still need other men in their lives
    • How older Christian men can invest in the next generation
    • Practical resources for Christian businessmen and leaders
    • How one discipleship relationship helped transform a man—and ultimately helped restore his marriage
    • Why isolation can keep men trapped in struggles like pornography

    Matt also shares resources available through CBMC, including Operation Timothy, Young Professionals groups, Trusted Advisor Forums, and opportunities to connect with other Christian men.

  • Kids, AI Chatbots & the Gospel | Child Evangelism Fellowship
    Jul 14 2026

    Fred Pry of Child Evangelism Fellowship joins Rob Stoddard to discuss AI chatbots, kids' safety, and the hope only the gospel gives.

    In this episode of The Covenant Eyes Podcast, Fred Pry — a second-career missionary with Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) — shares how CEF has spent 88 years reaching children around the world with the gospel through Good News Clubs, Five Day Clubs, Christmas Party Clubs (which reached over 12.5 million kids worldwide this past Christmas), summer camps, and a growing "Children Reaching Children" peer evangelism ministry.

    Fred also opens up about CEF's ministry to military children on 33 U.S. bases, and how CEF adapted after COVID to reach kids where they already are: on a screen. That includes CEF's free, ad-free video platform, the CEF Unite channel.

    Rob and Fred don't shy away from the harder topics facing families today — including the rise of AI chatbots and AI "companions," and the real dangers these tools pose to kids searching for connection and advice. They talk through recent cases where AI gave children harmful responses during moments of crisis, and why real relationships — and the real hope found in Christ — can't be replaced by artificial ones.

    Whether you're a parent, grandparent, pastor, or just curious about ministries doing meaningful work with kids, this conversation is a powerful reminder that even in an increasingly digital world, children can be bold witnesses for the gospel — and hope is never out of reach.
