In this episode we we go through these personal stories and biblical parallels, such as Jesus' transformative encounter at the pool of Bethesda.  This episode is all about the trials that test our pursuit of the dreams and visions God places in our hearts.  We emphasize the necessity of genuine desire and action, drawing from the healing of a man ill for 38 years, showcasing how perseverance and faith are vital in achieving the abundant life God promises.   Balancing between resting in God's promises and actively chasing our dreams can be challenging, but it’s a journey worth embarking on.  These experiences illuminate the profound joy and fulfillment found in taking leaps of faith. Our conversation shifts to the decade-long preparation and relentless prayer that went into launching CityLight Church, highlighting the lessons learned from persistent seeking, as inspired by Luke 18:1-7.   Finally, we remind you of God's immense love and encourage you to stay connected with CityLight Church through our podcast and online platforms, ensuring you are continually uplifted by the teachings and enveloping grace of our Lord.     (00:00) Testing Your Pursuit of God's Vision(03:55) Testing Your Pursuit of God's Vision(11:49) The Journey of Pursuit and Preparation(24:08) Navigating Life's Challenges and Pursuits(32:49) Connecting With City Light Church Podcast
