<p>What happens when you've prayed for something for years — and nothing has changed?</p><p>Jesus tells a parable about a widow who keeps showing up at the door of a corrupt judge, asking for justice, getting turned away, and coming back anyway. Day after day. The Complete Jewish Bible translates the judge's frustration with one word: nudnik. A Yiddish term for someone who is pestering, relentless, impossible to ignore.</p><p>Jesus holds her up as a model of prayer.</p><p>What does persistent prayer actually look like for modern people?. A stubbornness of the soul. A refusal to let silence be the final word. We talk about why persistence in prayer builds intimacy, transforms us from the inside out, and what to do when we've prayed hard for things that never came.</p><p>Luke 18:1-8</p>
