It is possible to be serving God in church and still have wrong ways of thinking.

That's something Leslie Bennett learned.

Even though I truly loved the Lord and I desired to walk in his ways, I was so ignorant.

I had allowed the world's way of thinking about womanhood to infiltrate my attitudes and my actions. Today is November 13th, 2019, and this is the

Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Wogelman, along with Dana Gresh.

She was trying so hard to do work for the Lord. But she wasn't going about it his way.
