What happens when we are led by our desires rather than by God's design?
Today on PREPPED, join James Spencer, PhD, as we invite our listeners to explore the deep and transformative concept of reordering our loves—shifting our priorities away from the self and back toward God. Drawing from Deuteronomy 6:5, the wisdom of Augustine, and key biblical narratives such as the Fall in Genesis, this discussion highlights how misplaced desires can distort reality, fuel idolatry, and pull us away from God's intentions.
We’ll explore how greed and other disordered loves challenge our spiritual alignment, and why loving God with all our heart, soul, and strength is not just a command—but a path to peace, purpose, and stability.
Through practical guidance and powerful metaphors (like the difference between being goal-shaped and God-shaped), we’ll reflect on how even inherently good goals can lead us astray when they are not grounded in God’s will.
