In today's episode, Rob explores one of Jesus' most powerful teachings on prayer: believing that God has already answered before you see the results. Too often we pray and instantly doubt, treating our prayers like hopeful wishes rather than declarations of faith. But Jesus shows us a different way. When you pray with belief—real belief—you align your heart with God's will and invite Him to move powerfully in your life.

Rob breaks down how to shift from hesitant, uncertain prayers to bold, confident faith that lives as if God's answer is already on the way.

• Why doubt often creeps in immediately after prayer

• What Jesus meant when He said, "Believe that you have received it"

• How faith acts before the evidence arrives

• A practical picture of faith using the "online order" analogy

• How to start praying with confidence, boldness, and expectation

Faith doesn't wait for proof—faith prepares for the promise. When you pray and believe God has already responded, you create space in your life for Him to deliver.

Ask yourself: What am I believing God for right now?
Pray about it—and then:

• Speak with confidence

• Act in faith

• Thank God before you see the outcome

Live today as if God's answer is already in motion.

Mark 11:24 —
"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."

In this episode of The Rob Skinner Podcast, Don and Mie Lee share their inspiring journey of faith, love, and service. They talk about their conversions, cross-cultural marriage, and experiences as missionaries in Hong Kong and Japan.

After retirement, Don and Mie felt called to return to mission work—this time in Eastern Europe, where they now serve in Bulgaria alongside younger disciples. Their reflections on aging, the desire to stay useful in God's kingdom, and the joy of serving others offer timeless wisdom for Christians seeking to make their lives count.

In this episode, Rob explores why the Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. Drawing from 2 Timothy 2:2, he unpacks the biblical blueprint for spiritual multiplication—Paul → Timothy → Reliable People → Others. Rob explains how real impact comes not from doing everything yourself, but from raising up others to carry the message forward.

Rob also shares insights from leadership expert Carl George, reminding listeners that effective leaders accomplish work through people—not by doing everything themselves. Whether you're a ministry leader, a small group leader, or simply a believer wanting to grow, this episode will help you break the "solo Christian" mindset and embrace the 10X approach of multiplying disciples.

• Why following Jesus alone limits your impact

• How 2 Timothy 2:2 gives a four-generation model for disciple-making

• The difference between doing ministry and developing ministers

• Why multiplication—not solo effort—is the heart of the 10X life

• Practical steps for passing on your faith to others

• How investing in people creates long-term, generational influence

"The task is too great for one person. It is more important for the leader of a growing church to produce other leaders than to perform personal ministry." —Carl George

Ask yourself:

• Who am I training right now?

• Who is learning from my walk with God?

• Who can I intentionally invest in this week?

The 10X Christian doesn't try to carry everything alone—they multiply their impact by raising others up.
