Caller Questions & Discussion: JJ shares that when you “delight yourself in the Lord, He will give you the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37:4). God places His desires within you and brings them to fruition in His timing. I just attended Every Man’s Battle, and my biggest takeaway is that I need to connect with God, myself, and other people. One practical way I’m doing that is through journaling. My therapist asked me to send her screenshots of some songs I’ve written, and she said she could use AI to help complete them. Should I share unfinished personal work? Why would she want AI to finish something for me? In 2023, I attended Every Man’s Battle because my fiancée confronted me. I’m from Guyana and so grateful.
