Rooted in God’s Love: How Ephesians 3:17–19 Shapes Your Everyday Worship

Do you believe God loves you but still feel anxious, overextended, or unseen? In this conversation, we explore how being rooted and established in God’s four‑dimensional love can steady your heart, simplify your days, and turn ordinary moments into worship.

Description
Angela talks with author and speaker Cynthia L. Simmons about Ephesians 3:17–19 and Paul’s prayer that believers would be strengthened in their inner being so Christ may dwell in their hearts through faith.  Cynthia shares her journey as a shy introvert, a homeschooling mom of five (including a son who was severely disabled and is now working part‑time), and a woman called into speaking, writing, and podcasting only by God’s grace.  Together they unpack the length, width, height, and depth of God’s love and offer simple ways to live loved in everyday life.
