In this episode of Beyond Just Christian Podcast, Brenna discusses the importance of keeping Jesus as our first love, the apple of our eye, and our heart’s delight. Drawing from her own season of singleness, she encourages listeners to pursue the Lord wholeheartedly in every stage of life: whether single, dating, in a relationship, engaged, and/or married. If we are recipients of God’s love, why wouldn’t we offer Him our affections in return? 

By the end of this episode, Brenna hopes that listeners will be able to love Jesus more intimately, find pleasure in His presence, and fully devote themselves to Him before seeking fulfillment in any earthly relationship.
