Is it possible to live an abundant life? In this episode, Bill and Scott explore the profound transformation that occurs when we as Christians fully trust in who God says we are.

Listeners are encouraged to embrace joy, love, and authentic relationships as evidence of abundant life in Christ.Topics Bill and Scott discuss in this episode: * The connection between spiritual death and abundant life in Christ.* Misconceptions about “dying daily” and how they can lead to legalism.* The role of trust in living out a God-given identity.* How seeing oneself as a sinner perpetuates shame and self-focus.* The impact of believing we are alive with Christ and no longer under the power of sin.* How the fruit of the Spirit emerges naturally from trust and freedom.* The dangers of measuring one’s Christian life by behavior instead of God’s promises.* Letting go of performance-driven faith to embrace God’s abundant love.Chapters: (02:30) Understanding Spiritual Death(06:00) Breaking Free from Sin and Shame(09:30) Trust and Christian Identity(12:00) The Freedom of Living in Christ’s Love(15:00) Overcoming Performance-Driven Faith(18:00) Authentic Relationships(20:30) Living the Life God IntendedResources mentioned in this episode: * The Trueface Books by Bill Thrall and others (e.g., The Cure, Beyond More, Bo’s Cafe). * Scripture references: Romans 6 and Galatians 2.* Jamie Winship’s teachings on listening to God’s voice. This episode was brought to you by Bill Thrall, Scott Boyd, and the Living Influence team. Learn about Living Influence: https://www.livinginfluence.com/ Subscribe to the Living Influence podcast: * YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LivingInfluencePodcast * Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4kP9Mm2 * Spotify: https://spoti.fi/4hUd9pM * GodTube: https://www.godtube.com/livinginfluencepodcast/ Learn about Bill Thrall’s books: https://www.livinginfluence.com/books This episode was produced by Story On Media: https://www.storyon.co/
