Talking to Your Friends About Destiny
“What marked your life last week? What did you struggle through late at night?” In the second video in this series, Erwin McManus talks about our souls’ craving for destiny. We all long for a life that means something, a life that matters.
Have you ever felt that God has a plan for your life but you have no idea what it is? Have you ever slipped into the dark sides of destiny? Apathy? Anger? As Erwin reminds us, “Your soul cannot live well without a belief in the future. You were designed for hope. “ Talk to your friends about hope. Do they feel hopeful? What gives you hope?
If you have shown this video to friends we’d love to hear how it went. How did you start the conversation? What was their response?
