If you’re like me, there is something you’d like to change about yourself or your life.

As a society, we’re obsessed with self-improvement. As Christians, we’re committed to it. Whether it’s exercise, dieting, or Bible reading, we’re convinced we can do better if only we give it the ol’ college try.

While there’s no shortage of motivation for getting started, maintaining a change or improvement is the challenge, isn’t it? We love the idea of improving, but we hate the hard work it requires. Well, we face the same dilemma in our spiritual lives too. We’re quick to make commitments to God, but our follow-through can be difficult.

So how do we give God our very best—and stick with it? That’s what we’ll discover in this episode of Live the Bible.

Here’s a tough question...

What one problem in your life, if it were solved today, would make everything better?

We tend to focus on symptoms (pain points) rather than on root causes. We want to fix the problems we feel rather than what causes those problems.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we will dig past the surface symptoms to get to a root question we’ve all yearned to answer: How do we find peace? The book of Leviticus offers us helpful wisdom as we uncover the fascinating answer that can make everything better.
