We have to genuinely pursue God. In this episode of the Flourish podcast, Penny talks about what it means to be a friend of God. Intimate friendship with Jesus isn’t automatic—it grows out of trusting and obeying Him. That means obeying immediately, obeying even when it doesn’t make sense, obeying when there’s no visible personal gain, obeying despite potential pain, and obeying all the way to completion.

Forgiveness is a recurring challenge—and a recurring call—in our lives.

How healthy is your heart? Is there anything seething beneath the surface? In this episode of the Flourish podcast, Penny gives a FORGIVENESS REFRESHER. When we hold onto unforgiveness, our capacity to love is hindered. We need to be honest and relentless in pursuing forgiveness. God wants us to go deeper and face the heart issue head-on. He sees our willingness to proactively forgive others not only as something He requires, but as something He rewards.
