About this episode
We talk a lot about sin, discipline, and behavior - but rarely about desire. In this episode, Jennie explores where our longings actually come from and why desire itself isn’t the problem.
Drawing from Scripture and insights from Curt Thompson, this conversation reframes desire as something God-given that often gets misdirected.
