Listen "Really Christian, Moving Beyond the Label EP. 261"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I’m asking a serious and personal question: Are you really a Christian, or are you just saying you are? It’s not about labels or outward appearances. It’s about internal transformation, disciplined living, and walking daily in the footsteps of Christ. We dig into what Scripture says about examining ourselves (2 Corinthians 13:5), taking every thought captive (2 Corinthians 10:5), and truly becoming holy as God is holy (1 Peter 1:15).I talk about how easy it is to fall into the comparison trap, feeling "Christian enough" because someone else is doing worse. But that’s not the standard. God is. We unpack how real discipleship isn’t passive or inherited, it’s personal, deliberate, and driven by joyful obedience. From rejecting rationalizations to embracing growth after baptism, this message challenges all of us to look inward, commit deeply, and press on with purpose.If you’ve felt stuck, complacent, or too focused on others’ shortcomings, this is your call to refocus on Christ, on growth, and on eternity. Let’s get serious about being really, really Christian—not just in name, but in heart, mind, and life.
