Grasping for God | Part 4: Grasping for Love

Grasping for God | Part 2: Grasping for Blessing

We all long to be blessed — to be seen, named, and affirmed. But like Jacob, we often grasp for that blessing in all the wrong ways — by pretending, performing, and hiding who we truly are. In Part 2 of Grasping for God, we will examine Genesis...

Grasping for God | Part 1: The Wells of My Father
