In this week's episode, Pastor Bobby Schuller welcomes special guest Bethany Taylor for a Spirit-filled conversation about the cost and reward of pursuing God's presence. Growing up in Japan as a missionary kid, Bethany learned early that church should be a place of genuine encounter, not religious performance. She shares the Holy Spirit's correction that changed everything: "If you don't start spending time with Me, you'll miss what I have for you." This powerful episode will equip you to recognize spiritual mixture, cultivate daily intimacy with God, and experience the breakthrough that comes through obedience and dependence on Him.
