Deep dives
Being light without words
Being light and drawing people to God through actions and example rather than just words or preaching. Just as a house with a light on in the darkness attracts people, being a light in your actions and lifestyle can draw others to God. It's about being a living example and letting your actions speak louder than words. This requires living a life that reflects God's love and values, being disciplined in your choices, and staying connected to the source of your faith.
Making a decision and being potent
Understanding the importance of making a decision and being potent in your faith. When you make a decision to fully commit to God and align your actions and choices with His values, you become a powerful and potent force for Him. This means not being passive in your faith, but actively living it out and making intentional choices that honor God. Through your commitment and decision to be light, you can attract others and draw them closer to God.
Distinguishing between community and audience
Recognizing the distinction between having an audience and building a community. While an audience refers to those who listen or watch your content but may not fully engage or connect with your message, a community is a group of dedicated followers who resonate with your values, philosophy, and approach. Building a community means creating a safe space for vulnerability, understanding, and growth. Your community will support and ride with you, even if they don't always agree with you, while an audience may simply consume your content without active engagement.
Choosing to be a follower of Jesus
In this podcast, it is discussed how Kirk Cousins made the decision to truly follow Jesus in his high school years. He emphasizes the difference between being a fan of Jesus and being a follower, stating that following Jesus makes a huge difference in one's life. The importance of making a decision to fully commit to Jesus is highlighted, and the podcast encourages listeners to choose to be followers of God.
Trusting the process and staying committed to God
The podcast episode explores the importance of trusting God's timing and staying committed to Him. The speaker shares personal experiences, such as being nominated for a senior prize and participating in a TV show, to illustrate the faithfulness of God. He emphasizes the significance of personal alignment with God's will, self-development, and having faith in order to achieve success and fulfill desires. The speaker encourages listeners to stay focused on their journey, trust God, and maintain a healthy work-life balance, relying on the word of God to guide them.
