Turn Toward God - Why direction matters more than perfectionWhat do you do when life gets hard again?In this episode, we walk through 1 Kings 8 and Solomon’s prayer at the dedication of the temple—a moment that isn’t really about a building, but about direction. Over and over, Solomon names real human experiences: failure, defeat, dryness, suffering, even distance from God. And his invitation is consistent and clear: turn toward God.This conversation explores why wisdom doesn’t exempt us from hardship, why honesty matters more than polish, and how God meets people right in the middle of real life. From Moses at the burning bush to the tearing of the temple curtain at Jesus’ death, we trace how God keeps inviting people closer—not once they’ve cleaned things up, but right where they are.If you’ve ever felt stuck, tired, disappointed in yourself, or unsure how to move forward, this episode is an invitation to consider a simple but challenging question:What would it look like to turn toward God this week?
