Guilt, pain, and failure are three of the most difficult experiences in our spiritual lives
God enjoys the process of helping us become who we’re meant to be
God will give us a new heart, a new way of thinking, and new strength to move forward
Everything in our lives—the good, the bad, and the ugly—is part of the process of becoming who we are meant to be.
Even if we haven't arrived yet, we believe we can get there because Jesus believes in us.
In this episode, we learn how to build a church on hope the way Jesus did—by cultivating purpose, humility, endurance, impact, and inspiration.
Returning to God is the only way we can stop living for people, stop being afraid of being different, and rediscover what it means to think differently.
We need to acknowledge what is wearing us out, especially the ways in which we become focused on rules and behaviors.
We can open our hearts up to him by listening, talking, turning, and committing to being close to him.
When we love vulnerability, we will open our hearts to God and others.
God wants to give us the help we need, but we have to be willing to be vulnerable enough to ask him for it.
We'll be vulnerable with God when we believe he loves us, is interested in us, and has a plan for us.
