Integrated & Purposeful: Embracing Holiness in Every Aspect of Life

December 14, 2023

In this insightful episode, Kevin Mannoia and Susanna Fleming dive deep into the concepts of living an integrated and purposeful life. They discuss how an integrated life reflects the completeness and holiness of God, emphasizing the importance of not compartmentalizing our spiritual lives from other aspects. This integration, they argue, leads to a more holistic and fulfilling Christian experience. The conversation then shifts to understanding purposeful hearts, inspired by God’s unconditional and initiating love. They explore the notion that true Christian love should be proactive, not merely reactive, reflecting the nature of God’s love for humanity.
