Running For A Reason

About this episode

Our expectation of God must not be that there will never be anything chasing us in life but that we are chosen while we are chased. In “Running For A Reason,” Pastor Steven Furtick reminds us that even though God has placed something significant in us, certain development can only happen in the caves of our lives.
