David shares on his Wellspring Group experience as follows: I was invited to the Battle for Your Heart for men by a good friend in early 2018 and my life has been permanently and positively changed in many ways. I had always viewed myself, and prided myself as being, an analytical, rational thinker, without much room for other perspectives or feelings. Understanding that God wants so much more for me and those in my domain through living in a wholehearted manner and wholehearted community, and putting this gradually into practice, has opened up a new world of relational intimacy and depth. We are driven by our feelings and desires, and embracing this allows us to increasingly play our parts in God's larger love story. And being aware of my wife's two strongest deep desires (finally, it is humbling that it took me this long!) and engaging her in this area has been a game changer. We completed the Battle for Your Marriage track, which opened up some old wounds and insecurities. God is doing a work in my heart and it is a challenging, messy process. But it is worth it and I am grateful. Wellspring Group truly helps us to discover and live the life God created us to live.
