This past Sunday, Adam Acosta's talk was a powerful and deeply personal exploration of hunger—the kind that shapes identity, misleads us with counterfeits, and ultimately determines the direction of our lives.

The speaker shared a pivotal moment where God spoke: “You can hunger to be known by Me, or to be known by man. But you can’t have both.” “Where I want to take you, you must die.”

From there, we looked at three key biblical moments:

The Giant (David) — David didn’t hunger for victory—he hungered for the wilderness where he met God. His confidence wasn’t in defeating Goliath but in who he already was in the secret place.

The Apple (Eve) — In the garden, Eve was deceived into hungering for something she already had. Satan’s tactic is the same today: use doubt to distort obedience and dismantle identity.

The Stone (Jesus) — In the wilderness, Jesus chose not to turn the stone into bread, showing us that sustained hunger can form us more deeply than satisfied hunger ever could.

Identity is built on what you hunger for. What we feed is what stays alive. There are places God wants to take you—but some of those places require something in you to die first.

What are you hungering for? Is it drawing you closer to the presence of God—or deeper into striving, comparison, or counterfeit comfort?

This message is a call back to the wilderness, to the place where real identity is forged. Don’t chase the giant. Don’t eat the apple. Don’t turn the stone. Hunger for Him. That’s where the promise begins.
