We’re beginning a brand-new series based on Ronnie Worsham’s book, God Thoughts: 100 Essays and Devotions.
Before diving into the individual essays, Ronnie shares the story behind the book itself. Why write it? What does it mean to think “God thoughts”? And how can Christians move beyond simply being told what to think and instead learn how to think with Scripture? This conversation lays the foundation for a series focused on growing deeper in wisdom, faith, and a life shaped by the Word of God.
