In this episode, we welcome you to our new building and dive into a powerful discussion on deepening your relationship with God. Bonnie shares how the Lord speaks through study, the importance of removing barriers between us and Him, and how even when we think we’re “doing nothing wrong,” there are ways our hearts can be distracted from intimacy with God.We explore speaking to God as a loving Father, understanding that our breath and every gift we have comes from Him, and how we can cultivate worship that flows from gratitude rather than obligation. From reflecting on King David’s wife to realizing our role as stewards of God’s gifts, this episode is full of encouragement to embolden your day and strengthen your walk with Him. If you’re seeking a closer connection with God, practical ways to remove spiritual barriers, and daily inspiration, this episode is for you.Chapters:
