In Matthew 7:7–11, Jesus gives a command—not a suggestion: ask, seek, and knock. In this episode, Steve Wood explains why these words are present, active imperatives and what Christians—especially parents—should be persistently asking God for.

Drawing from Luke 11 and Acts 1–2, this episode reveals that the “good gift” the Father longs to give is the Holy Spirit—the promised power from on high. Steve issues a clear call to parents: for the next 36 months, make one primary focus your prayer that your children receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

With insights from Scripture, Church teaching, and Pope Benedict XVI, this episode explains why an awakened experience of the Holy Spirit is essential for lasting faith—and why catechesis without it often falls short.
