When You Get What You Want

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of getting what we wish for and how it can reveal our true selves in relation to faith.

Be careful what you wish for. Sometimes, getting what we want reveals who we really are. When we prioritize our "ends" over God’s "means," we often secure the very failure we were trying to avoid.
