Nate Wheeler discusses how God takes us through trials and challenges to change our lives. As we surrender to His purpose and will, we transform to be more like Him.
More Than Enough — There are many funny little tensions that exists in the Kingdom. God is so big, and His ways are so much higher than ours, that it can be difficult to grasp the entirety of His heart in certain matters. One of these concepts of tensions falls between the two expressions “I…
He is Your Flame — The Father’s love for His people is a raging fire of passion. He is for us, not against us. He is desperate for a people who will desire Him the way He desires us. To be in His love is to encounter life. However, to pursue other flames, replacing Him,…
