What does it mean to intentionally please God? 

In this episode of the Closer to Jesus podcast, we explore how our faith and actions can align with God's purpose for our lives. 

While He loves us unconditionally, there are steps we can take to grow closer to Him and live in a way that brings Him joy.

Join me as we discuss:
-God's intent for our lives and how we can align with His will (Revelation 4:11).
-The role of faith, prayer, and obedience in pleasing the Lord (Hebrews 11:6, James 1:22).
-The power of carrying Jesus’ testimony and making disciples (Luke 9:23, Luke 14:23).
-The blessings that come from living a life that honors God—peace, protection, and an eternal reward (Colossians 3:23-24, Proverbs 16:7).

🌟 Key Scriptures:
James 2:18 – "Show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works."
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 – "Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks."
2 Timothy 1:7 – "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

✨ Let’s be intentional about our relationship with Jesus—seeking Him, serving Him, and living in His grace every day!
