Discipline became desire as time in the Word reshaped his heart, mind, and life. This episode is not a formula or a lecture, but a testimony of how God rescues, redeems, and restores by inviting us back into the communion we were created for. If you have ever wondered how to know God’s will, walk in freedom, or move from survival faith into a real relationship with Him, this episode is an invitation to come up the mountain and walk with the God who simply wants to be with you.
