About this listen

Read by the authors.

Are you feeling spiritually stuck? Release that frustration and discover a more natural way to relate to God in this biblically grounded, transformative book about how our passionate and creative God offers us gateways—that are already in our lives—to draw us closer to him.

What if intimacy with God doesn't begin with us knocking at God's door but with God knocking down ours? In Learning to Be Loved, author and Spoken Gospel CEO David Bowden and Hobby Lobby's Mart Green remind us that spiritual growth starts not with our giving but with our receiving.

This unique and freeing invitation to respond to God's initiative explores:

  • Common misconceptions that can hold back our spiritual growth
  • Practical "doors"—such as dreams, wounds, and generosity—that are already in your life as ways for you to organically connect with God according to how he has made you
  • A vision of the Christian life that isn't about doing the right things but learning how receiving God's love moves us toward the right things
  • Practices to help you partner with God in living your own spiritual story rather than always comparing yourself to other people

Combining David's careful study and poetic voice with Mart's decades of wisdom about the simplicity of a life lived toward God, Learning to Be Loved unites biblical rigor and personal experience to show that intimacy with God isn't based on our ability to connect with him—but on all the ways he is constantly connecting with us.

Great Insight

This concept of God’s love for me has always perplexed me. Bowden helped me to understand God’s love. I’m still not there yet. This is one of those books that’s so rich with insight that I have to read it again and again.

A must read for all Christians

This is such a wonderful book full of wisdom and reminders of how much God loves us. This would also be perfect for someone new to faith or returning to their faith.

Confirmation of God’s Word.

I love this book. Listening to it on audible allowed me to spend time in the presence of God and be taught how to be loved by God, which is most important to me.

Be open to the gateways that God wants to show you his love 

David’s descriptions and examples of the identified gateways that God wants to use to show his love to us. Were awesome! 

Mart’s “ stories” however, at times were a bit difficult to relate to. I’m sure he is a wonderful man of God, but the spheres  of influence he has being a multimillionaire, let’s face it, are mostly out of reach for us who live as the common man.
