E889 | Homecoming Replenish - Session 3: The Wilderness

The comfort culture keeps telling you that you can arrange for your little personal Eden now.

It's a lie.

God won't let it happen.

He literally won't let it happen because it would destroy you.

You're not ready for it.

Your soul is not shaped yet enough to handle that much happiness and power and all of it.

The skill that we don't need is how to figure our life out.

The skills that we need to develop are the intimacy that's available with Father, with Jesus, with Holy Spirit, and the resources of the Kingdom of God that He is able to bring to us in the wilderness.

The wilderness, the wilderness.

Welcome back to the Wild at Heart podcast, friends.

I think you're aware that we are walking through some of the fabulous content from a conference that we held here in Colorado in June.

Yes.

Replenish, the return to Eden was the theme of the conference, and as we were doing it, we're like, "We have got to share this with- Yes ...

the rest of our friends.

We can't just limit this to the folks who were able to get to Colorado for that." So hope you're enjoying it.

This is, um, episode three in this series, so you don't need one and two, but if you haven't seen them, you're gonna really enjoy them.

Mm.

This is where the conference begins to take a turn.

So we knew that we had a lot of people that were kind of coming with friends or spouses or family that might be newer to our message, and so episode one on the heart, episode two kind of the basics of union and communion- Yes ... you all have heard us talk about before.

Now we're gonna begin to move into some new content, and the idea-- This was one of the ideas in the conference that people started to go, "Oh, whoa, this is very reorienting.

I had not thought about that." Right.

Because if we think that we're supposed to have everything we want now in this moment, well, we're setting ourself up for a lot of disappointment, right? Yeah, a lot of heartache.

And, and giving the enemy a gateway in to say, "See? This isn't true." Yeah.

But i- for me, it was revolutionary just to rethink that we live in the wilderness, so now how does that frame what's possible- Yes ... and how to protect our hearts? Exactly.

Yeah.

How do you navigate living in the wilderness- Yes ...

while we are on our way to the return of Eden? So I think you're gonna really enjoy it.

I think you're gonna find it very orienting.
