If you struggle to believe God loves you and if you long to live a life of adventure, Bob's story will inspire you. Bob is known as the guy who included his phone number in the back of his first book, Love Does, because he loves people and wanted to be available. Since then, he's written multiple New York Times bestselling books and included his number in every one of them.  Bob says his greatest ambition is to love people and inspire others to follow Jesus into a life of adventure, whimsy, and wonder. In this episode, Bob talks about starting a zoo, getting gored by a cow, shot with a pellet gun, and visiting the Prime Minister of Liechtenstein. His new book is Catching Whimsy.  It's an invitation to wake up each day expecting to live a more meaningful life, a more engaged faith, and a more intentional future.    Show Notes:  https://www.bobgoff.com/  https://lovedoes.org/  https://www.bobgoff.com/books/catching-whimsy/  https://www.instagram.com/bobgoff/  https://www.facebook.com/bobgoffis
