31. Loving God with All of Your Soul: Matthew 22:37

What if loving God deeply starts with understanding that your soul is your core, your true north — like a compass pointing to the LORD?  Your soul is the deepest part of who we are — our passions, emotions, and life’s breath — designed for connection with Christ. In this episode Stacey talks about Matthew 22:37 and  loving God with all of your soul and how to prioritize your relationship with the Lord.

30. How Not to Lose Your First Love

When it comes to loving God, It's not that we have a strong desire for other things; often, the problem is our desire for God is too weak, making us settle for less satisfying substitutes. When that happens, stress, worry, and frustration grow, pulling us further away from our First Love of Jesus.  But there’s hope—returning to your first love is always possible.  In this episode Stacey talks about the church at Ephesus, Revelations 2, and how this warning helps us love God with all of our heart.
