A Steadfast Heart: Letting God Shape Your Desires

About this episode

Leslie discusses the importance of allowing God to shape our desires in alignment with His will.

Leslie continues the Steadfast Heart series by unpacking the Biblical principle of letting God shape our heart's desires. We often believe we will find satisfaction in making our own decisions and simply asking God to bless them. But all throughout Scripture it is clear that God wants to guide us, direct our paths, give us wisdom, and show us the way we should go. Scripture is also clear that as we build our lives around Him, our desires align with His. This episode challenges us to freshly examine whether we are truly allowing God to shape our desires and lead our lives. For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.
