I just knew that even though I might not be loved in the way I wanted to in that moment by my family or by my dad, or I felt abandoned or I felt alone, God in Jesus would love me forever.
In this episode of Anchored by the Sword, host Gina Fox sits down with David Bowden, a spoken word poet and founder of the nonprofit Spoken Gospel. David shares his powerful journey from feeling disconnected and disobedient to finding a deep sense of love and purpose in God. Despite his outward success, including millions of YouTube views and speaking to large audiences, David opens up about his inner struggles and how he found true freedom and love through his faith.
His latest book, 'Learning to Be Loved', co-written with Mart Green, delves into these themes, offering insights on how to experience God's love in a profound way. David's story is both relatable and inspiring. Raised in a church-going family, he faced a significant crisis of faith when his parents' marriage fell apart. This led him on a quest to understand what the Bible truly says about love and obedience.
His journey took him from performing spoken word poetry around the world to founding Spoken Gospel, an organisation dedicated to helping people understand the Bible through creative media. David also discusses the concept of 'thin places'—spaces where God's presence feels particularly close—and how spiritual disciplines like prayer, Bible reading, and worship can become gateways to experiencing God's love. He emphasises that these practices are not about earning God's favour but about positioning ourselves to receive His already abundant love.
For anyone grappling with feelings of unworthiness or seeking a deeper connection with God, David's story offers hope and practical advice. He encourages listeners to address their wounds and suffering directly, as these are often the very places where God's love can be most powerfully felt. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their spiritual life and understand the transformative power of God's love.
So, why not take a moment to listen and see how David's journey might resonate with your own?
