Episode 13 (Season 3) Limitations: The Beauty of Limits

About the Episode:
Author Kelly Kapic discusses how God places limits on our lives to bring us closer to Him through true dependence. In a world where limits are seen as negative, Dr. Kapic talks about the beauty of those limits, brought about by some of his own personal journey as well as being a professor. Limits can be seen as physical, emotional, educational, relational, age-related, or many other things. Hear them discuss the unintended consequences of trying to do all the world says we have to do to keep up or get ahead and whether we are even asking God. How can we live counter-culturally with regard to accepting our limits and abiding in Christ? There is so much beauty in God’s design.
