“God wants your consent. And then He wants your cooperation.” In this episode of Bible Bish, I sit down with a spiritual father of mine, Pastor Rick Sowell of Choctaw Road Baptist Church, to wrestle with one of the most asked (and misunderstood) questions in faith: How do I know God’s will for my life? Together, we unpack what it really means to wa…

What Jesus Really Meant by Compassion | Guest: Daniel Borge 53:00

2M ago53:00

When Jesus felt compassion, it wasn’t pity. It was power. In this episode, I sit down with my friend Daniel Borge, a Spirit-filled Norwegian with the kind of honesty and humor that hits you right in the heart.

Ever felt like dreaming big would only lead to disappointment? I get it. In 2023, God gave me the word “pie” (yes, pie!) and taught me that dreaming isn’t something I’m meant to do alone.

5M ago50:55

50:55

My dear friend, Jarrett Hartness, was convinced he was the one God had finally given up on.

50:57
