Win Today: Your Roadmap to Wholeness

Do you remember that at a young age, we had to be taught to color inside the lines? We had to be taught to think inside the box, too. But our natural instinct was to think outside the box. To express an innate genius through our lives. But here's the catch: genius is not transferrable. You could spend your life with Picasso and never become a great painter." But with Jesus, his genius is dramatically the reverse. His genius, it would seem, is contagious. Why? Find out this week with our guest, Erwin McManus.

This week, we're talking about how to develop a habit of uncomplicated prayer, and how to establish and live a deeply formed life. Rich Villodas joins us today. And in preparation for this conversation, I Googled the phrase "Why am I." And what followed was no surprise at all: "Why am I so tired" and "Why am I always tired." So, I'd like to propose that one of the contributing factors to our chronic exhaustion is the fact that we are carrying burdens we should be laying down. And learning how to do that consistently is at the foundation of the deeply formed life.
