When it comes to supplements, quality matters. Many manufacturers are either ignorant, or they just don't have the resources to maintain proper quality control. Low quality supplements could do you more harm than good.

That's why I only recommend professional-grade products that are 3d party tested. These manufacturers encourage independent 3d party certification. Get peace of mind knowing that what's inside the bottle matches what's on the label.

Order supplements through my Fullscript store.

Summary:

David Sandstrom welcomes Cory Rosenke, author of "The Magnetic Heart of God: Understanding the Five Cravings of Your Soul," to discuss how our deepest longings stem from our soul's innate spiritual cravings rather than physical or emotional needs.

Cory shares that he was inspired to write his book while preparing an Easter sermon to showcase Christ's relevance amidst people's diverse faith backgrounds. He seeks to address the soul's hunger that drives human ambition and behavior. Even Christians often pursue things of this world expecting God to aid that pursuit, revealing a "faith skin deep."

The conversation explores how Adam and Eve's perfect relationship with God in Eden fully satisfied the soul's cravings for security, identity, independence, significance and innocence. The serpent convinced them to seek satisfaction outside God, a pattern humanity continues today. We try reconstituting Eden's blessings through earthly means like relationships, status, or wealth. However, only connecting the soul back to God brings deep, lasting fulfillment.

Cory and David discuss how surrendering to God's loving lordship benefits us, though no guarantees exist. As we align more fully with God's desires for us, we gain peace and better health. God cares more about our sanctification than comfort, preferring the "long miracle" of transformation rather than instant solutions. Setting our minds on virtues ushers in God's peace.

A key insight is recognizing the people around us as eternal souls in mortal bodies, rather than disagreeable creatures. This grants empathy, patience and compassion to become better neighbors, parents and friends. It also reveals why societal divisions run so deep currently.

In closing, Cory emphasizes that we are more than a mind or body - we are everlasting souls designed for relationship with our Creator. Aligning this core identity back to Him is key to satisfying our deepest cravings and finding the meaning, freedom and joy we desperately seek.

This conversation offers a compass to navigate the complex longings of the soul and realign them with the God who promises to fully complete us. Discovering the origins of our inner cries brings hope of finally filling that void within.
