The Bible is very important for our spiritual walk and growth. Unfortunately, not everyone has an easy time reading or studying the Bible.

God called us and saved us so that we may experience real life in Christ. Jesus said, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (John 10:10) Unfortunately, many followers of Christ today are not experiencing this. They are looking forward to it in the next life someday but not now. How can we experience real life today? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/soultalkswithpb/message

Last week, we talked about how you can see God’s dream for you right where you are. You just need to open your eyes and pay attention to God as He lays a burden in your heart.

Having the correct view of God and success are foundational matters. They prepare you to be a dreamer and a doer. But you cannot be an ordinary dreamer.

That's why personal ambitions drive them. But can we aim for success without compromising our faith? Can we be ambitious and still retain our commitment to Christ?
