Episode Synopsis

We're back after missing last week, and diving deep into Sunday's powerful message about being fulfilled with God's joy! In this episode, we tackle some hard questions: Why do American Christians spend less than 4 hours a week with God? Why is it easier to jump on a negative train than a positive one? And what does it really mean to be sanctified by His truth?What We're Discussing:🔥 The shocking statistics about how little time Christians spend with God🔥 Why we seek fulfillment in everything EXCEPT Jesus🔥 The difference between temporary joy and sustaining joy🔥 Why it's easier to be judgmental than grace-filled🔥 What it means to be "word rich" and how it changes everything🔥 The power of putting a clean cup next to a dirty cup (instead of just pointing out the dirt)🔥 Understanding the 4-step process: Share, Connect, Minister, DiscipleKey Moments:✨ The "hole in our heart" that only God can fill✨ Why we spend more time celebrating athletes than our Savior✨ The power of 25 women surrounding one person in prayer✨ What "sanctify" really means and why it matters✨ How Jesus modeled grace even with Judas at the tableScripture Focus:📖 John 17:17-19 - "Sanctify them by your truth. Your word is truth."💡 Big Takeaway: "For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth." When we become word rich and allow God to sanctify us, we become contagious—people see the clean cup and want what we have!This conversation gets real about the intentionality it takes to walk with Christ in a world that constantly pulls us toward darkness. We're challenging ourselves (and you) to wake up every morning with the intention to love God and love God's people—no matter what.
