Today we are going to be talking about “Experiencing God at a Deeper Level Through His Abiding Love.” We all have the desire to know God more deeply and to grow every day in our faith and to know without a doubt the love that God has for us. As Christians, we try to add our own flesh-fueled ideas of what we think building a relationship with God should look like, through our own effort and our own works. Sometimes we need help living and resting in Jesus, and finding our way to the place where we can really know the hope of God and know that he truly is for us. Our guest today, Ron Block, author of the book, Abiding Dependence: Living Moment by Moment in the Love of God, knows very well that becoming who we're meant to be requires a deeper experience with God, and he will be sharing more about that and his own walk with Christ today.Bible: The WordFavorite App: Tecarta Bible AppBullet JournalToday's Sponsor: The Talking Jesus Doll - Use coupon code CBTDOLL for 10% discount!0:00 - Intro 2:05 - Ad Break3:37 - Meet Ron Block8:42 - When did you become a Christian and why you decided to commit your life to Christ?13:04 - Tell us about the years you shifted then into your musical career.16:42 - That's fascinating during those years, how would you describe sort of your spiritual growth?23:03 - Seeing the joy of Christ29:24 - What do you mean by abiding dependence?34:31 - 40 days through your book46:17 - One of the 40 meditations51:01 - Connect with Ron Block53:17 - Favorite Bible study tool questions 58:55 - OutroTalking Jesus Doll Talking Jesus Doll is a beautiful plush Jesus doll.
