Why Favor-Based Faith Fails: The Truth About Transactional Prayer

We treat God like a vending machine: we ignore Him when we are full, but shake the machine when we are hungry.

In this video essay, we explore the spiritual danger of "Fair-Weather Faith" and why treating prayer like a transaction leads to spiritual burnout. We break down the theological difference between a Contract and a Covenant, look at James 4:3, and discuss how to move from an "Emergency Contact" relationship with God into true intimacy.
