God’s Gentle Pursuit and the Crushing Burden of Emptiness Only He Could Resolve with Iveta Berzinch

In this episode, Iveta Berzinch shares with us how God made himself known to her, despite growing up under the communist ideology that God does not exist. She details for us how God pursued her as she journeyed from Latvia to the U.S., in and out of churches, into her medical profession, and into her adult years. She explains how God met her in midlife, resolving the burden of emptiness that was suffocating her, and the identity crisis distressing her. Hearing Iveta’s story will show you how gently and persistently Jesus pursues us and might just challenge you to seek Jesus for the life only he can give.
