Simple Pursuit is a bold call from the heartbeat of the Passion Movement to live for what matters most…God’s Glory. And God is most glorified in us when we live lives that are fully satisfied in Him. But what does that actually look like? A Desire for His Fame is the fourth of five plans that will help guide you closer to Him and His glory.

Through the scattered, growing group of Jesus followers, the gospel is advancing to the ends of the earth. We pick up with the missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas, and Paul’s first recorded sermon, which is a masterpiece. This 5-day plan continues a journey through Acts, the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of his followers as he expands his kingdom to the ends of the earth. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

People hurt us. And we harden our hearts to protect ourselves. Plans fail. Tragedy comes unexpectedly. In the face of disappointment, we can quickly lose hope and begin to believe God has forgotten us. But He hasn't and He won't. Let this five-day series with Andrew and Wendy Palau refresh your soul—God is FOR you, and His plans for you are good!
