About this episode

Rev. Linda L. Adkins discusses how understanding in the Christian life is rooted in desire for God's will.

In this powerful episode of Words of Light for Today, Rev. Linda L. Adkins teaches a foundational truth of the Christian life: understanding comes from desire. Spiritual growth is not determined by talent, education, or natural ability. It begins with a heart that truly wants the things of God. When desire is present, understanding follows—and when that desire aligns with God’s will, it begins to transform every part of a believer’s life.
