    Discovering Why God Made You

    Episode Details

    Discovering Why God Made You

    Date: Aug 31, 2026

    Guests: Steve Farrar

    The late Steve Farrar invites listeners to consider life not as an accident, but as a purposeful design rooted in God’s sovereign plan. Beginning with God rather than self, he uses Scripture to show that every life is intentionally formed, spiritually awakened by faith, and prepared in advance for meaningful good works. Through trials, growth, and obedience—including a call to sexual purity — Dr. Farrar underscores that God’s wisdom can be trusted, offering deep comfort and direction for a blessed, purpose-filled life.
