The Good, Bad, and the Holy of Purity Culture (Part 1 of 2)

Imagine life if you were 100% in tune with God all the time! Sadly, things get in the way—squabbles with our loved ones, difficult circumstances, disappointments. John Burke reminds us that God is the source of life and of our contentment and joy. He gives us a clear picture of what it looks like to do life with God and how you can trust Him with your strongest and deepest desires! Just like branches connected to the Vine, with John’s 60-60 experiment (connecting with God every 60 minutes for 60 days), you can cling to God’s peace and love, allowing that to overflow to your relationships and everything you do.
