Episode 47: Let God Use You | Embrace Intimacy with the Father Who Calls You His Own | PGD

Learning to Love: https://a.co/d/07ZmY8S2    Learning to Love: Writing Through Warfare, Vulnerability, and Meditation   In this episode, Pastor Kevin reconnects with Kendra M. Dublin to continue their conversation about her book, Learning to Love, after an earlier interview missed several questions.   They discuss how resting in God’s inseparable love anchors life through change, why Kevin wrote the foreword after hearing Kendra’s approach to love, and how a grace-centered view of Jesus contrasts with legalism.   Kendra shares that the most emotionally taxing chapter to write was chapter one, “Wrestle with Love,” because it required deciding how much to reveal about spiritual warfare since age nine.   She says her biggest fear isn’t vulnerability but being seen as a public theologian without formal training. The conversation emphasizes meditation as essential for embodying Scripture, deepening intimacy with God, and fueling Spirit-led creativity in preaching and writing, and closes by inviting viewers to buy the book on Amazon and return next week.   00:00 Welcome Back and Book Plug 01:04 Audio Mishaps and Monkey Business 01:59 Gods Love in Life Changes 03:36 Why He Wrote the Foreword 04:32 Grace Over Legalism 06:21 Hardest Chapter to Write 10:55 Fear and No Formal Training 13:34 Being a Vessel and Giftedness 18:36 Why Meditation Matters 26:09 Trusting the Spirit to Create 28:22 Manuscript Preaching to Freedom 31:32 Wrap Up and Next Episode    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
