Listen Later

In this episode of the Grace Enough podcast, host Amber Cullum interviews author Lisa Whittle about the re-release of her book 'I Want God' and the personal journey behind it.

A decade ago, Lisa found herself burdened by the pressures of motherhood, a stalled writing career, and societal expectations to be a successful Christian leader. This led to a period of internal desperation, not for lack of external success, but from an inner longing for something more meaningful.

Throughout their conversation, Lisa and Amber delve into various topics including the difference between needing and wanting God, the power of prayer, and the significance of personal revival. 

Key Takeaways:
  • Understand the distinction between needing God and wanting God, and how this impacts your spiritual journey.
  • Learn why Lisa's prayer life now consists more of silent prayer. 
  • Explore the significance of personal revival and how it can ignite a deeper passion for your faith.
  • Learn how fasting extends beyond food and discover the spiritual discipline it can bring to your life.
