In this episode of the Echo and Encourage Podcast, Pastor John Abbott explores the nature of God and our relationship with Him. He discusses how our perceptions of God can affect our desire to spend time with Him, emphasizing that God is not a demanding figure but one who delights in His worshipers. Through the story of the Samaritan woman, he illustrates the shift from a non-relational religion to a genuine relationship with God. The conversation highlights the joy of seeking God and the transformative power of true worship, culminating in the invitation to dance with God in delight.
