We’ve all heard it: “Whatever you ask in My name, I will do it.” But what does that really mean?

In this episode, Pastor Chris dives deep into John 14:13–14 to dismantle the myth of a "vending machine God" and explore what it truly means to pray in alignment with Jesus' character, mission, and Kingdom.

✅ Why prayer is not about personal gain ✅ How culture has warped our view of blessing ✅ What holiness actually means in a chaotic world ✅ Why your prayers must glorify God—not yourself

🙏 Jesus still answers prayers—but not on our terms. Real prayer is relational, purposeful, and always rooted in surrender.

Philippians 4:13 was my life verse growing up — shouted at swimming lessons, shared with kids I taught, and repeated like a spiritual rally cry: “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” But what if we’ve been using this verse all wrong?

Welcome to the HHP Podcast — I’m Chris Frankie, senior pastor of HFF Church in Oklahoma City. Join me and guests from around the country as we explore the Bible, the church, and real family life. Whether we get it right or maybe veer into the heretical (you decide!), we’re diving deep into Scripture with open hearts and honest questions.

In this episode, we take a fresh look at Philippians 4:13. Spoiler alert: it’s not about scoring touchdowns, acing exams, or getting the promotion. It’s about contentment. Paul wrote this verse from prison — not from a podium. He was teaching us that strength in Christ is about enduring, https://hff.church 📍Join us for Saturday church in OKC at 10:30 AM — all are welcome!

Most people quote Jeremiah 29:11 as a feel-good promise of instant blessings, success, or smooth sailing — but that's not what God was saying. This verse was written to a broken, exiled nation, not individuals chasing quick prosperity.

In This Podcast: ✅ What Jeremiah 29:11 doesn’t mean 🧭 The real historical and biblical context 🗝️ Why it's a promise of long-term restoration — not immediate results ❤️ What this verse truly teaches us today

📝 Key Takeaways: • It’s a corporate promise to Israel — not a personal guarantee • Fulfillment took 70 years — many never saw it in their lifetime • It came in the midst of discipline and suffering • God’s good plans often involve hardship that leads to hope • Even in exile, God remained faithful to His covenant

💬 Final Thought: Jeremiah 29:11 isn’t a prosperity slogan — it’s a profound reminder that God is faithful even in the waiting. His plans may unfold slowly, but they are always good and always redemptive.

👉 Don’t just quote the verse — understand the context.

"Don't just celebrate your deliverance—anticipate your destiny."

In this episode of the HHP Podcast, Pastor Chris Franke of HFF Church unpacks the deeper meaning behind the biblical command to count the Omer. It's not just about where you've been or what you've overcome—it's about where you're going and who you're becoming.

Explore how the Omer connects us to Jesus as our First Fruits, and why the journey from Passover to Pentecost mirrors our spiritual transformation. Discover the importance of shifting focus from gift to Giver, and how the calendar is less about dates and more about building expectation for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
