“Who needs God?” by @AndyStanley #GCTOGOD

Who needs God? Perhaps nobody. Perhaps everybody. Perhaps we should talk about it.

Listened to this series of talks by Andy Stanley on a run last week. Great listening.

1	Who Needs God, Part One – Atheist 2.0	Americans are migrating away from religion, particularly Christianity, at an unprecedented rate. Once upon a time, Americans believed religion offered solutions. Today, religion is viewed by many as the problem.	View in iTunes	Free	4/15/2017

4	Who Needs God, Part Four – The God of Jesus	It’s easy to get caught between doubt and despair when we’ve always assumed God to be something he’s not.

6	Who Needs God, Part Six – I Do	We all want to be masters of our own destinies. We all want to feel in control of our lives.

About GettingCloserToOurGod

This blog is written by Todd Christenson. He was raised in Nebraska and currently lives on Long Island in New York. Though out my childhood, my family attended church. We prayed together at meals. I thought I was prepared for life. After college, I moved to New York City. Shy, unsure of myself, building an identity in worldly things, increasingly prideful, self-righteousness, a controlling nature. In 2013, God spoke through someone, suggesting I confess my sins. I did. I realized that every day, I’d been glorifying myself, not God. Today, God’s teaching me to have my identity in Him, only, my dependency in Him, not myself, being who He wants me to be, not the world, loving Him first, loving others as myself.
