Because if we go into any relationship, any - our spouse, our kids, our friends - having a set agenda of what experiencing that relationship should look like to us, it can be very unhealthy really quick.” -  Faith Eury Cho “Start simple. Start with something that is a natural offshoot to your regular rhythms of life.”  - Faith Eury Cho “I remember moments I would tell God, ‘I don’t have a prayer to pray, I don’t have a song to sing, but I’m here.’”  - Faith Eury Cho “God cares about every little thing, and we want to give him the opportunity to show us that.” - Dr. Kim Kimberling  “Some of us are friends with fear, not the presence of God, and I think we’ve got to break up with our fear!” - Faith Eury Cho QUESTIONS FOR YOU What is one way you and your spouse like to worship God together?  Have you seen God move during a ‘wilderness’ season?    MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:  Find Faith on Instagram or at her website, www.faitheurycho.com Grab Faith’s book, Experiencing Friendship with God: How the Wilderness Draws Us to His Presence.
