Episode 171 - Michael John Cusick, "Surfing for God, Part 3: Deep Desires"

Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick

“I’ve always been most passionate about trying to help people connect the broken reality of their life to the reality of God’s heart.” - Michael John Cusick
Hope is life-giving, but to deeply and intensely desire something and not receive it can be virtually unbearable. On the other hand, the consequences of losing our spiritual thirst can be as dramatic as losing our physical thirst. How can we love God with all our minds, hearts, souls, and strength when the desires of our hearts and souls are not operating at full capacity? Our souls’ thirst is the core desire from which everything else in the Christian life flows.
During this episode of Restoring the Soul, you will discover the Seven Core Desires & Longings

• Attention: To be seen
• Affection: When I see you, I want to be with you
• Affirmation: You have what it takes
• Acceptance: I deeply desire & thirst to belong
• Significance: I want to matter for just who I am
• Satisfaction: Fullness. Contentment. It is well with my soul.
• Security: My soul finds rest in God alone.

Common wisdom says if they just had more willpower or more faith, their fight would be over.
