Episode 4: Hunger and Thirst for God

08/01/24 • 46 min

Jesus tells us that the work we must do is to believe in him, whom the Father sent. That sounds simple and yet it can be so difficult in our everyday lives. Are we striving to believe, to be our best selves, and to grow closer to the person of Jesus? Are we looking at the world, and other people, through the lens of love that belief in Jesus gives us? And if not, how can we change that and become what God intends?

We often complain when we're asked to do things that we feel are difficult or challenging. When God asks us to believe in him, to be kind to one another, and to love each other, why do we sometimes feel that is difficult? Why do we shy away from trying to achieve that level of perfection?
