As Paul closes his prayer in Ephesians 1, Gene reminds us that every believer has a heavenly account overflowing with spiritual wealth. We’ve learned to calculate the balance, understand the currency, and cash the checks of purpose, privilege, and power. The key to living this out? Prayer — praying these truths into our hearts so we walk daily with confidence, identity, and strength. It’s time to stop searching for what we already have and start living like the rich people we are in Christ.

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.
