Being in relationship with God looks like we’re sitting down in front of a big table with Him, and what a deeper conversion and deeper healing means is that we are willing to be at this table and we are willing to lay out everything here for the Lord to see. He sits us down and He wants all our weapons, all of our distractions, all the things that keep us from Him, all the obstacles, and He’s gonna keep calling us out until we lay them all out on the table.
Jesus has so much more to give us, but he’s waiting for us to take this step—to surrender everything to Him rather than trying to be the Lord of our own lives. Those parts of our hearts that we’d rather keep quarantined or closed off, the Lord is now sitting saying “I want to be the Lord of that as well.” This is how He is inviting all of us.
This episode is the second part of a series on Hungry For God by Dr. Ralph Martin that invites us to define our relationship with Jesus and fully commit to his Lordship.

Jubilee and Christ the Bridegroom
Who do we belong to? God shows us that Adam and Eve were bride and bridegroom from the beginning. God holds an original identity, which is super important for the meaning of our lives as men and women, for the meaning of our lives as sons and daughters. The covenant of marriage is established in the garden as something deeply meaningful. It’s like a commentary on what we’re made for…

Confronted by the Eucharist
When you have a conversion, you live a Eucharistic life, with a gravitational pull to be with Jesus. There, no matter how you feel, you know you’re not alone. It’s not just about our desire to go to him, though — he is also drawing us to himself. Allow yourself to be drawn…

On Being Safe
What does it mean to be safe? Safety is not the absence of suffering; it’s not like we’re not going to struggle with anything, but it’s the recognition that when we are vulnerable, we don’t have to escape it because someone wants to be with us and provide for us and that is our Lord, Jesus Christ. This is the safety that we are proposing. In this episode, we focus on having sufficient resources and…
