Listen "Episode 22 — Worship as Renewal: Born Again & Taking a Risk"

Episode Synopsis

In this one, Ben and David zoom in on worship as the place where renewal actually begins—not as an add-on to life, but as a rebirth. We talk about living in the Acts 2 reality right now (the Spirit has been poured out), and why following Jesus is a package deal of faith and the Spirit’s power shaping our identity and freedom. Then we unpack Jesus’ “born again” language as a fresh start—no longer defined by our past but recreated in Christ.      We also get practical: what corporate worship does that private moments can’t (and why weekly confession historically functioned like a covenant-renewal reset), and two simple “IRL” steps—take inventory and take a risk. That risk might be as small as raising a hand, making an audible response, coming to the altar, or asking for prayer… and no one’s judging; it actually lifts the room and often changes your own heart.          Plus a light “Just for Funsies” detour on dreams—pizza or prophetic?—and how to pay attention without over-hyping it.
