What are you looking to for satisfaction? We all experience longings—for comfort, approval, relationships, success, control, and more. But even good things were never meant to bear the weight of satisfying our souls.
Today we’re breaking from our series on Biblical theology for a conversation with Joanna Kimbrell about misplaced longings, what it looks like to cultivate our desires, and the true desire of every soul—Christ himself. This conversation is deeply theological and also incredibly practical, and we hope it stirs your longing for the day when every longing will be ultimately and forever satisfied.
