Desire is one of those touchy subjects no one really wants to touch. But we’re going there. 

Depending on the way you were raised; you might consider desire to be mysterious or dirty or something to be quiet about. 

In this audio snippet from our latest video, Kit and Rebecca are putting the subject of desire front and center. That deep down longing is part of your special wiring and it is worth exploring. 

Desire is spiritual, emotional, and physical - that means facing it is a vital part of your spiritual journey.  If you’re battling unwanted sexual behavior, let this conversation guide you into your own conversation with God about how your desire feels distorted. If you’re a parent, listen in for ways to understand your own desire and guide your children with more compassion. 

Have you considered bringing your desires before your Heavenly Father? God knows your deepest longings because He instilled them in you. 

Let’s reframe how we look at Desire. Press Play.

Highlights:

It takes a lot of work to connect what you need with what your body is telling you.

What we really need is to feel safe, to feel comfort, to not feel alone - acknowledging that can feel really vulnerable and we have to slow down to get there.

Naming the deeper longings we have can lead to deeper intimacy with God. And can be a very healing and spiritual part of our journey.

Reflection:

Desire is pointing you towards something.  Take time to ask God these questions:

What am I searching for? What are my unmet needs?

What are my deeper longings?

What did I learn as a child about desire? How did it impact my desire today?

Who is the person God created me to be?
