affects amazing effect jesus life loving others
Just like sunshine affects others, when the life of Jesus invades your life, you become a loving person. The effect on others is amazing.
live-life heart voice
To find God, you must look with all your heart. To remain present to God, you must remain present to your heart. To hear his voice, you must listen with all your heart. To love him, you must love with all your heart. You cannot be the person God meant you to be, and you cannot live the life he meant you to live, unless you live from the heart.

Desire, both the whispers and the shouts, is the map we have been given to find the only life worth living.
lying adventure true-life
We are made in the image of God; we carry within us the desire for our true life of intimacy and adventure. To say we want less than that is to lie.

The meaning of our lives is revealed through experiences that at first seem at odds with each other--moments we wish would never end and moments we wish had never begun.

I started working at Focus on the Family doing debates and media and cultural studies.

You know the phrase 'Jesus laughed' isn't ever used in the Gospels. So, most people walk away with the idea that Jesus is a pretty serious guy, pretty sour faced most of the time, pretty upset at what's going on around Him.
sort
I have a call to speak, to write, to do sort of deep-heart surgery in people's lives.
christians experience honor jesus love people personally relationship respect worship
We're told that you can have a relationship with Jesus, but most Christians don't experience Jesus personally like that. They just don't. We honor Him. We respect Him. We worship Him. We don't experience Him and His personality like we do the people we love the most in our lives.
enormous strength
It takes enormous strength to be a real woman.
became caught christian exposure high home hungry raised religion religious
It was only after 20 years of being dunked in the religious culture that I got caught up in 'religion.' I had no exposure to Christianity as a child. I was not raised in a Christian home. I became spiritually hungry in high school.
brought desperate era human immense quicker serving
The modern era has brought up immense conveniences but at what price. The human heart is desperate for something more than a quicker serving of popcorn.
