Yet all of us were created for something even deeper, more meaningful and transformative. In this final episode of our series, Pastor Kevin Butcher talks about how our deepest longings lead us into a rightful desperation for God and why this is especially important for pastors to see in themselves.

From the heart!

I love the authenticity that Kevin shares with. It’s hard to argue with his combination of decades of experience and compassion/love for his audience of pastors. The short length is really helpful to for digesting a topic at a time.
