One of the most amazing things about having a relationship with God is he frees us up to be ourselves
Even if we haven't arrived yet, we believe we can get there because Jesus believes in us.
We can all look to the Scriptures to learn how to build a relationship with God, the ultimate Father.
God wants to be real to us–he wants us to see him through our own eyes.
In this episode, we learn how to build a church on hope the way Jesus did—by cultivating purpose, humility, endurance, impact, and inspiration.
God is relational; he wants a friendship with us, not a religious performance.
We need to acknowledge what is wearing us out, especially the ways in which we become focused on rules and behaviors.
When we’re worried, weary, or hurting, we need to know that God has our back; he loves and cares for us.
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.
