The Secret Place

Gold, White Garments and Eye Salve

Deep within us lies a longing to belong - it's how we've been created.  We end up looking for belonging in relationships, accomplishments, environments and identities, but nothing fully satisfies us because we were actually made for belonging in the presence of God.

When we discover that belonging to God is not dependent on our behaviour, our maturity or our spiritual consistency - but that it flows from God's choice, character and love.

In this episode, Derek looks at ways we can fully understand belonging in the presence of God.

The Presence of God #5 - Our Place of Belonging

One of the most transformative realisations we encounter in our walk with God is the difference between living and striving.  We assume that we need to work our way into God's presence or earn his approval.

This striving wears us down and fills our heart with anxiety.  But God calls us to live from His presence, not strive for His presence.

In this episode, Derek unpacks how we can walk with God, living in His presence and not striving for it.

The Presence of God #4 - Living, Not Striving

The spiritual struggles we encounter are often based in our perceptions, and how we see ourselves.

When our perceptions are shaped in negativity, or by our fears, misunderstandings or past betrayals, our capacity to hear the voice of God is diminished and we can find it hard to walk in God's peace.

In this episode, Derek looks at how we can change our perceptions so we can draw closer to God.
