Welcome to the Faith First Podcast, where we try to give you helpful and practical steps in walking in this world faith first. I’m Jonathan Gouthier, Associate Pastor at First Church of Torrington, CT, and invite you to join me as we discover how to align our hearts with God’s will and ways. I’m joined by our Lead Pastor Steve Darr as we discuss this topic of desire— both ours and God’s. Welcome Pastor Steve, glad you’re with us today.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• We all have desires and you also state that God has desires. What would be God’s desires?
• The message focuses on righteousness, I am guessing that it ought to be one of our desires in our lives. How do we achieve it?
• As believers, what ought to fuel our desires? Our dreams?
• How do we shift from self-centered dreams to God-centered dreams?
• Why is it important to pray “God, your will not mine be done?”

God has shown us that the desire of His heart is salvation. Especially the salvation of those who are lost. God is inviting us to align the desires of our hearts with His desire. Allow Him to prepare your heart to share His hope of salvation when He grants you your next opportunity.
