ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Are you discouraged in your life with God? Are you lacking the desire to pray or to read the Bible or to do ANY of the things you know you’re SUPPOSED to do as a Christian? And then do you beat yourself up or condemn yourself because you DON'T want to do them? Don’t lose heart! GOD DOES NOT WANT US TO BE RELIGIOUS AUTOMATONS! Join Danica for this Spiritual Quick Tip on Connecting with God, in which she offers encouragement and hope for aligning YOUR desires with GOD'S desires. She discusses what "Second Order Desires" are and how to use them to develop a change of heart.
For more on SECOND ORDER DESIRES and how NOT to be a religious automaton, check out Danica's blog post on the topic -- go here: https://www.theaudaciousadventure.com/god-doesnt-want-religious-automatons/
