Episode 175: Can Prayer Change God’s Mind? Abraham’s Bold Conversation with God

In one of the most daring and intimate moments in Scripture, Abraham steps into a bold back-and-forth with God Himself. But what’s really happening in Genesis 18? Is Abraham negotiating… or interceding? And can prayer actually influence the heart of God?

In this episode of The Today Counts Show, Jim, Gary, and Matt unpack Abraham’s powerful conversation with God over the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah. You’ll explore the tension between God’s justice and mercy—and how this ancient dialogue still shapes how we pray today.

You’ll learn:

  • What it means to approach God with both humility and boldness
  • The role of intercession in leadership and spiritual maturity
  • Why God’s responses are always aligned with His nature
  • And yes… whether prayer can really move the heart of heaven

If you’ve ever wondered whether your prayers matter, this episode will stir your faith and challenge your view of divine partnership.
