Zechariah’s Silence: When God Answers a Lifetime of Prayer in an Unexpected Way

What happens when God finally answers your decades-old prayer… and you can hardly believe it? In this compelling episode, we dive into the remarkable story of Zechariah – a faithful priest whose moment of divine encounter left him speechless, literally.

Standing in the holy place of the temple, doing what generations of priests had done before him, Zechariah’s ordinary day of service became extraordinary when the angel Gabriel appeared. After years of unanswered prayers for a child, God’s messenger arrived with news too wonderful to believe.
