Today’s discussion revolves around the powerful connection between our self-beliefs and the desires that God places in our hearts. Kristen Fitch emphasizes that our desires are not frivolous; they are meaningful reflections of who we are and what we are meant to pursue. She explores the struggles many face in feeling inadequate in their roles as mothers, wives, and friends, and the importance of aligning our feelings with the truth of who God says we are. Through the example of Abram’s faith in God's promise, she illustrates that even in times of doubt, God meets us in our longings and desires. As Kristen encourages listeners to seek their true selves and embrace their God-given ambitions, she invites them to remember that fulfilling these desires can lead to a more profound connection with their faith and purpose.
