A.J. Swoboda is back on the show today! A.J. and Brook sit down to talk and laugh about deep thoughts that are vulnerable and real. Their conversation gets into desires and how critical it is to live in a place of satisfaction in Christ. In this topic of desires, the conversation covers so many facets, from unwanted desires, practical desires, the balance of naming our desires and knowing when to die to them, how we bless our children, how we can learn from those closest to us to be transformed, and how we need to see Jesus in his humanity to relate to God. Enjoy!
