On this week’s show, Southeast Senior Pastor and author Kyle Idleman talks to Kurt and Chad about “God’s gift of desperation.” Spiritual awakening frequently occurs in times of desperation. No one would choose desperation, but that’s when we are most likely to cry out, “God, help me!” And that’s when our dependence on Him draws us into His presence and power.

The 7 questions every person in the world asks themselves, deep down in their soul, from childhood to adulthood are these:

AM I SAFE?

AM I SECURE?

AM I LOVED?

AM I WANTED?

AM I SUCCESSFUL?

AM I GOOD ENOUGH?

DO I HAVE A PURPOSE?

These questions drive many people‘s behavior in life, both good and bad. But what if those questions were put there by God Himself? And what if the answers are sitting right in front of us? Which question is your driving question, every day you wake up?

On this weeks show, Kurt and Chad welcome counselor and personal coach Nooch Saeedi https://www.primaltruthliving.com to talk about the 7 primal questions and how those questions have been driving us our entire lives, and how they can help us go in the direction we want, especially when getting the answers from God and His word.

Pimped out as a prostitute, including by the uncle that molested her as a child.
