Manage episode 441605321 series 3580394
Struggling with feelings of inadequacy and sleepless nights filled with self-doubt? It's a journey many of us know all too well. This episode peels back the layers of these struggles and uncovers the profound experience of transformational love through God. We explore the "God gap", the space between knowing God's love intellectually and truly feeling it in our hearts, as revealed in Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3:16-21. We discuss how embracing God's invitation to transformational love can overcome these barriers and help us build a community that fully embodies and shares His love.
Ever wondered why past relationships shape your perception of God's love? Through Ephesians 3:17-19, we delve into the importance of experiencing God's love beyond mere intellectual understanding. We draw from the wisdom of Dallas Willard and his concept of the "with God life," and reflect on how living in intimate relationship with God allows us to embrace His love, wisdom, and power in every aspect of our lives. This chapter is all about being rooted in loving relationships to find peace within ourselves and becoming vessels of His transformative love.
Ready to awaken to God's love in a deeper way? We introduce practical spiritual practices, including a six-day guide to engaging with disciplines like prayer, scripture, meditation, silence, and solitude. Discover the significance of Sabbath and the necessity of slowing down to align with God's rhythm. By sharing personal stories of creation, rebellion, redemption, and restoration, we highlight how these experiences can awaken others to God's love. We conclude with a powerful prayer for the Holy Spirit to reveal areas in our lives needing repentance, and to help us grow in grace and love, preparing us to radiate His love to our community.
