Connexus Church Audio Podcast

If Christians believe in an all-powerful God, why don't they live their lives more expectant that he will move? As a church, we have a well-thought-out strategy to reach people, but what would happen if we expected a move of God daily? How would it change how we behave?

Our culture is offering new theories on what it means to be human faster than ever before. Part of you knows we're all missing something of depth that works. But where do you find it? Jesus would say you can find the meaning and purpose you are looking for in him, but why don't more Christians live like Jesus? How can you encounter Jesus, and what would it mean to our community if we were to be a church where we encounter Jesus together?

Andy Stanley, speaker on open-handed living, discusses the dangers of living a dual life, clinging to affirmation and love, and the power of Jesus. He emphasizes the importance of living with open hands, relying on what is given by God and embracing a life of contentment and joy.

Andy Stanley emphasizes the importance of monitoring one's heart to align with God's will. He discusses the dangers of ignoring one's inner self and the need to tend to one's soul. Stanley addresses the issues of resentment, greed, and jealousy, suggesting forgiveness, celebrating others' success, and giving generously as solutions.

Andy Stanley emphasizes the importance of attending to the health of our souls and surrendering ourselves to God to safeguard ourselves against the capacity for duplicity that can harm ourselves and our loved ones. He explores the concept of surrendering ourselves to Jesus every single day, declaring dependence and independence from oneself. Stanley argues that by following Jesus, people can close the gap between their self-image and how others perceive them, leading to peace with oneself and a life better lived.
