I heard a message recently that caused me to stop in my tracks.

I'm a pastor.

I had studied this passage for many, many years, but I had never seen it in my life the way it was taught.

And there was a sense of truth and connection that I just couldn't hardly believe.

You've got to hear it, and that's today.

Welcome to this edition of Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram.

Our mission is to inspire Christians to be genuine followers of Jesus and to empower them

to be active disciple makers in our world.

As many of you know, Chip's our regular Bible teacher for this daily program, but for the next two broadcasts, he's passing the mic to his son, Ryan England.

He's the lead pastor at Awakening Church in San Jose, California. Today and tomorrow, Ryan will be in Genesis Chapter 2 describing the perfect environment

God created for Adam and Eve, and why since sin entered the world, our hearts ache to be reunited

with our Creator. But before we begin, let me encourage you to download our message notes to help

you get the most out of these programs. They contain Ryan's outline, scripture references, and much more.

Get them by going to the broadcasts tab at Living on the Edge.org, app listeners tap fill-in notes.

Well, if you're ready, here's Ryan with his talk, The Longing for Home.

Let me ask you, what do you do about the ache within you? What do you do

with just that ache? You're sitting in a coffee shop surrounded by people, but nobody actually

knows you. You're scrolling through social media at midnight.

Everyone's highlight real, yet you feel unseen.

You moved into a new apartment, and you don't know your neighbor's names.

That new apartment's now two, three years old.

You still don't know their name and they don't know yours.
