What Is God Asking You to Lay Down? Hearing God in Listener Questions
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. Join me on an immersive Bible Study Experience.

Leave me a voicemail: SpeakPipe Questions we answer today Can kids do the color method, and where do I find the chart? Do the gifts of the Spirit only come through praying in tongues? Is speaking in tongues the only evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit? What has God asked me personally to give up? How do I know what He's asking me to surrender?
