In Ephesians 1, Paul reminds us that our spiritual “checkbook” is overflowing because of what we’ve already received in Christ through the Holy Spirit. But instead of being satisfied, Paul prays that we would keep pressing deeper into God, growing in faith and love. Today, Gene explores how Paul’s prayer challenges us to recognize our heavenly wealth and to pray not only in times of trouble, but especially for those faithfully living on the front lines of faith.

Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside’s conviction that God’s grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God’s presence and activity in your life.
