Have you ever felt like your personal desires were leading you down a path you never imagined? My wife's journey, filled with unexpected pain and joy, serves as a poignant illustration of how personal ambitions can obstruct a higher calling. We discuss her initial motivations that led to her first marriage and the subsequent experiences that led to her finding Jesus. This detour led to her obtaining her true desire and divine purpose. 

Modern society's quest for identity and morality leads us away from what is natural and good. We explore societal trends like DINKs (Double Income, No Kids) and contrast that with the fulfillment found in parenting, highlighting a movie where a career-driven woman finds unexpected joy through caring for a child. Along the way, we draw parallels to the biblical story of Babel and examine humanity's attempts to redefine itself, often resulting in self-destruction. With a mother’s compassion, we discuss complex issues such as plastic surgery, gender transition, and the moral implications of abortion. We reflect on the spiritual and societal consequences of defying God's divine order in creation, all the while emphasizing the need for empathy and understanding in addressing these sensitive topics.
 
 How can we build and sustain meaningful communities that nurture our spiritual growth? In our conversation about local fellowships, we stress the importance of recognizing and amplifying each individual's talents and gifts. We share insights from her experience in a large Dallas church, where the sense of unity and inclusivity left a lasting impact. Yet, we also address the heartbreak of losing fellow members, underlining the necessity of intentional restoration, reconciliation, and fellowship. Through the metaphor of pruning a dying branch, we illustrate the importance of staying connected to God and each other, fostering a community where everyone thrives together.
