Episode 19: Cries That Get Your Father's Attention

In this episode of Walking Close, Living Changed, Brian talks about the kinds of cries that get God's attention as a loving Father. Using the picture of a parent recognizing the different cries of a child, Brian explains that God knows the difference between casual complaints, spiritual hunger, repentance, and deep compassion for others.

Through scriptures from Psalms, Matthew, Peter, Job, and the words of Jesus on the cross, Brian shows that God hears His children and responds to cries that come from hunger for Him, a heart ready to change, and compassion for broken people. This episode encourages listeners to cry out to God honestly, trust His Father's heart, and allow Him to respond with nourishment, correction, and transformation.
