God wants to be Wanted: Hosea 4 - Heaven Bound

What this episode covers

In this episode of The Heaven Bound Podcast, Claudia unpacks Hosea 4 and the heartbreaking reality of a people who forgot their first love. They stopped chasing God, they stopped choosing God. God doesn’t just want our rituals—He wants relationship. Claudia dives into how Hosea 4 reveals a God who desires to be wanted, not just obeyed, and what it means for us when our hearts drift toward everything but Him. He wants us to KNOW Him. From misplaced worship to spiritual apathy, this episode is a wake-up call to return to the God who’s been pursuing us all along.

Understanding the ten commandments can be a good place to reflect on, as they were one of Israel's first introductions to learning how to relate to God and live in His way. Jesus also references the commandments in his sermon on the mount saying, “...whoever does them [the commandments] will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:19) Looking forward to exploring these with you!
