Episode 41: My Life Is Not My Own | Embrace Intimacy with the Father Who Calls You His Own | PGD   Learning to Love: https://a.co/d/07ZmY8S2    The hosts continue discussing Kendra M. Dublin’s book Learning to Love, focusing on chapter nine, “Ambassador of Love,” which begins with scripture and includes a humorous story from Kendra’s 10th-grade year that reveals her academically gifted background, pride, and rebelliousness, including later consequences like being kicked out of college before being reinstated.   They reflect on how God’s plan connects life experiences over time, encouraging parents that seeds planted in children bloom in God’s timing.   They highlight the line, “Jesus will come to sustain the faint-hearted with the word,” emphasizing God’s Word as guidance, comfort, and perspective, including trusting God’s provision.   The conversation transitions to chapter ten on sacrificial love, noting Jesus’ servant nature, steadfast identity amid ignorance and rejection, and the call for believers to deny self daily; Kendra responds to claims that “it doesn’t take all that” by pointing to Jesus’ suffering, humility, obedience, and the disciple’s duty to follow the text.   00:00 Welcome Back and Book Intro 00:25 Chapter Nine Ambassador of Love 01:23 Gifted Student to Rebellion 06:02 God’s Timing and Parenting Seeds 08:24 Sustained by the Word 09:19 Seeing Through God’s Perspective 12:55 Trusting God Like the Sparrow 16:38 Chapter Ten Sacrificial Love 21:30 Denying Self Daily 22:38 It Took All That Following Jesus 26:39 Closing and Get the Book   Resources for Church Leaders People Growth Discipleship System: https://www.kendradublin.com/funnel Pathway to Patience: https://www.amazon.com/Pathway-Patience-Kendra-Dublin/dp/1304626768/   Resources for Individuals People Growth Discipleship Workbook: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DYDPYVKD Pathway to Patience Book: https://www.amazon.com/Pathway-Patience-Kendra-Dublin/dp/1304626768/ Speak to Your Storm: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DYPCKHJ9 God’s Perspective for Me® Volume 1: https://www.amazon.com/Gods-Perspective-Me-Kendra-Dublin/dp/153952616X God’s Perspective for Me® Volume 2: https://www.amazon.com/Gods-Perspective-Me-Vol-2-ebook/dp/B079RFT4N7   Social Media/Website Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kendradublin/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kendradublin/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamkendradublin/ https://www.kendradublin.com   Guest Opportunity and Contact Information Partnership Opportunities: [email protected] Calendar: https://calendly.com/kendra-dublin/interview   Links for audio podcast Podbean: https://pgdwithkendradublin.podbean.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0mYDEtftohwOplYeeUMAVe Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/people-growth-discipleship/id1745786230 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/f9149c8b-b492-493e-ae69-809f16ecfc85 IHeartRadio: https://iheart.com/podcast/173776178 Player FM: https://player.fm/series/3572921
