On Culture - Wanting What We Want

The desires of others often help us decide what to want. That can be a good thing or a bad thing. Susan and I talk about the difference between Wants and Desires and how much she wants those boots.

Susan and I talk about what we were made to want - what we really desire whether we know it or not, and what we think we want instead - and how those around us can help us (for good or for ill) decide what we want. She wants boots.

Take delight in the Lord,

    and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Psalm 37:4
