We all need God…but do you really want him as well?

 

In this powerful episode of Up Until Now, Kristen discusses with her friend, Lisa Whittle, the convicting question of: Do I really want God? Lisa, host of the Jesus Over Everything Podcast and author of many books, including I Want God, shares her personal experiences of spiritual numbness and the transformative moment that led her to seek a deeper relationship with God.

 

Listen in to hear encouraging truths on:

·      Why desire matters in our spiritual growth

·      What barriers prevent us from wanting God

·      How much comfort can cost us

·      Why fear drives us to set rules with God

 

If you’ve struggled to see God moving in your life, it’s time to ask yourself: What’s keeping me from desiring him with my whole heart? This episode will both help you take an honest assessment of your spiritual life, and deliver the good news you’ve been needing to hear: God still desires a relationship with you, no matter what.

 

MORE ON LISA: Lisa Whittle is the author of nine books and several Bible studies, including Jesus Over Everything and The Hard Good. She is a sought-out Bible teacher for her wit and bold, bottom-line approach. She is the founder of two online communities: Ministry Strong for ministry leaders and Called Creatives for writers and speakers, and host of the popular Jesus Over Everything podcast. She's a wife, mom, lover of laughter, good food, and the Bible, and a self-professed feisty work in progress.
