As we near the end of our series on the pillars of growth here at The Light, we reflect on what our expectations of Encounter and subsequent growth are (or often aren't). What happens when we feel discouraged in a certain situation or season? What happens when we don't see the fruit of a particular effort or area in our lives? Does our lack of enthusiasm or energy or desire keep us from encountering and experiencing God? Or does He continue to pursue us even when we lack expectancy? Listen as Pastor John shares several testimonies of God showing up in surprising ways and sharing precious gifts even when our expectations are low and our hearts and minds aren't sure what we will receive from and experience with Him.
