Sermon: God Needs Prayer
In this sermon clip, Greg Boyd discusses some of the challenges we face when praying.

Greg addresses these questions as he begins a new series on prayer.

Featured Sermon Series: Scandalous Love
The Scandalous Love series is often considered one of Greg’s and Woodland Hill’s most foundational series. In fact, it was so important that it subsequently led to the Can’t Stop the Love series. Defining the true character of God is at the heart of what ReKnew is all about, so we wanted to host…
