If you need answers, you need an altar.

When life feels overwhelming, prayers seem unanswered, and your efforts produce no results, this message is for you. In this Bible study, Jaime Luce walks through 1 Kings 18 and Elijah’s confrontation with the prophets of Baal and shows a powerful truth:

If the altar is broken, the answers will not come.

If you are sacrificing to the wrong thing, the results will always disappoint.

Elijah did not ask God to send fire until the altar of the Lord was repaired. Many people are exhausted because they are giving their time and energy to things that cannot give life. Meanwhile, the altar God commanded stands neglected.

In this episode, you will learn:

• What a biblical altar truly represents

• Why your approach to God matters

• How humility positions you to hear from God

• Why worship without sacrifice leads to frustration

• How to rebuild what has been spiritually broken

• How God responds to a heart fully surrendered to Him

God is not silent. He is waiting.

Real answers begin where real surrender happens.

It is time to repair the altar.
