What Is God Asking You to Lay Down? Hearing God in Listener Questions
Start with the thing you feel like you couldn't possibly give up. That's
usually the one.
It's Friday, so we're catching up and working through questions that came
in. Today we talk about using the color method with kids, whether spiritual
gifts only operate through tongues, and a question I had to sit with: what has
God actually asked me to surrender? I share the closed door that led to my
first book, and the hardest thing I've ever had to lay down.
