Are you doing everything right but still feel empty? Are you so busy doing things for God and everyone else that you altogether miss him? Do you ever, in your busy life, stop and see him, really see him? Jennie Allen felt paralyzed in her relationship with God. It occurred to her that maybe she was chasing the wrong things.

She knew David was both completely broken, and completely sold out for God.

In this Audio Bible Study, Jennie Allen shows how too many of us walk through life feeling as if we don't measure up and can never be enough. But the truth is, we will never be.
