Right View of God Matters

- Seeing God through Jesus reveals a loving, inviting God, not a distant or disappointed one.
Connection vs Separation Worldview

- Jesus introduces a connection worldview: we are never separate from God or each other.
Practice Daily Self-Emptying
- Practice "getting empty" daily by releasing closed-handed anxiety and open your hands to receive from God.
