From Duty to Desire: Walking in Love with God

 |  Item 85  |  31m58s

Previous Episode  |  Next Episode

In today’s episode, Stasi invites us to reimagine “duty” through the heart of faithfulness and loving Jesus as a response to His extravagant love. Whether you're feeling weary or longing for deeper connection, Stasi shares how life with God isn’t about lifeless obligation, but passion and intimacy. Though sometimes duty and obedience are the only driving forces we possess, in time duty will shift to desire as we encounter Jesus. Stasi also guides us through a prayer to rest in the Presence of Jesus and to meet with Him today. Friends, we pray that today’s podcast will help you find hope, rest, and restoration as you draw near to the One who first loved us.
