We desire small things like encounters or experiences with God when we are called to so much more.

Let's talk about it.

Is a good life a life filled to the brim? Or is a good life one in which there is space to think, create, and be with God? I think we all know the answer but that hasn't seemed to slow any of us down much. We still fill most of our "free" time with tv, social media, and whatever else we find entertaining. We don't know how to be bored long enough for creativity, deep thinking, and imaginative ideas to kick in.

We all have healing of some sort to do. Some have more trauma than others but none of us has been free of being hurt and offended in some way. This is a fallen world, after all. We hurt each other but we also have a role in healing each other. In this episode, we'll talk about how God heals us through his love and the love of others.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. -Psalm 147:3

We have a tendency to pretend with others and with God about how we're doing and what's going on in our hearts and lives. But God meets us where we're really at and pretending we're somewhere else gets us nowhere. Let God minister to you through his word, his Spirit, and his people by being honest and vulnerable.

Heaven isn't just a far away place where God dwells and where we'll one day go. Heaven is now. God has launched his new creation through Christ and we are agents of that new creation.
