The Holy Spirit: His Roles in Our Lives | The Final Episode (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We had no idea when we sat down to record this conversation that it would become the final episode of Grit and Grace with Tonya Bruton. Josh and I were coming out of an unusually difficult week filled with frustration, obstacles, disillusionment, opposition, and some of the worst writer’s block I had experienced in a long time. Somewhere in the middle of trying to push through all of it, we realized something we both needed to hear: Creating content about God cannot replace actually living with

God may use people, opportunities, doctors, emplo
Why Is It So Hard to Receive from God? | Closed Hands, Open Grace (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many of us know how to work for God better than we know how to receive from Him.
