Developing a Rich Relationship with God
Do you ever feel spiritually stuck? What if intimacy with God doesn't begin with us knocking at God's door but with God knocking down ours? Ed Stetzer talks with Hobby Lobby's Mart Green about his book, Learning to be Loved: The Everyday Believer's God to a Rich Relationship with God and how our spiritual growth starts with our receiving. They'll talk about how intimacy with God is not dependent on our connecting with him, but on all the ways he is constantly connecting with us on Ed Stetzer Live.
