"My emotions are a messenger, not a master." So wrote one of our listeners, and that refrain continues to pop up through the podcast, not just with our emotions but with our desires as well. Kyle shares how a false identity statement he had carried for years was exposed in a recent conversation with a friend. That invites them to pick up the thread of their conversation three weeks ago about the deep well of desire that exists in the human heart for a connection to God. Recognizing that deeper desire will help us see that most of our surface desires are attempts to fill a place they cannot fill. So, how do we deal with unmet desire, or even the disappointment of having others sidetrack something beautiful God began through a community? And what if our unfulfilled desires are an invitation into a more spacious trust?
