Are You Letting God Lead Your Life? - E19

39 minutes

In this episode, we start with camping stories, fishing debates, sketchy game show ideas for our friend Kobe, and Danny’s thoughts on whether Bill Belichick should make good on his promise to caddie for him. Then the conversation turns toward a deeper question: are we actually being led and empowered by the Holy Spirit, or are we just trying to do good things in our own strength? We also talk about the Father’s love, learning to be led by God in everyday life, and whether we’re truly letting Him love us the way He wants to.
