In today’s message, Josh Woodward continues his powerful series, “Hunger for the Secret Place,” calling us to give God not just a portion of our devotion, but our whole heart.

Josh teaches that one of the most practical and transformational ways we offer God our whole heart is through prayer—the daily, intentional pursuit of His presence. Prayer is more than a habit; it is the pathway into deeper intimacy with the Father.

He also challenges us to confront and remove anything that competes for our affection. Josh defines an idol as “anything that takes up a piece of our heart,” reminding us that even good things can become distractions when they occupy the space God deserves.

Throughout the message, Josh walks us through key scriptures in the NLT, including:

• Proverbs 23:26 – “O my son, give me your heart…”

• John 6:28–29 – God’s call to believe and pursue Him above all else.

• Psalm 73:25 – “Whom have I in heaven but you?”

• Psalm 27:4 – The one thing David desired most.

• Psalm 84:1–2, 10 – A longing for the courts and presence of God.

• Luke 10:38 – Mary choosing the “one thing” that mattered.

• Romans 12:1 – Offering our bodies as a living sacrifice.

This message will stir you to examine your desires, reorder your priorities, and seek God with undivided passion.

Lean in and let God awaken a fresh hunger in you for the secret place
