Thread Season 3 Episode 12: Do You Really Want to go to Heaven? Now?

05/15/17 • 28 min

If you ask people in church if they believe in heaven and believe that it's the best life possible, they’d all say yes. Now add a second question, “Would you go there right now if you could?” If I promised you that if you stood at the altar in church and prayed real loud, “OH Father, please let me die now and go to you!” you’d drop dead where you stood and enter heaven would you pray it? We are very, very attached to this physical world and to life in the body.And this keeps us from experiencing the full freedom we could know in Christ.

Thread Season 3 Episode 11: Why a disciple of Jesus must (necessarily) be weird

Fitting in. Being accepted by others. These are key social drives that can hinder us in our efforts to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. He was notoriously out of sync with culture, family, and friends in His day. Truth sets you free but it also calls you to live out of response to what you now know is true. The disciple is a student of truth and truth is an opportunity to enter the freedom of the mind. It's up to us to take it.

Thread Season 3 Episode 13 : Set spiritual goals and survive life

Set spiritual goals! Yes, it's a lot harder than clicking off a bucket list of experiences BUT the effort you pour into completing a spiritual goal will change your life forever. Who I am is more important than what I do, but doing is usually what gets me there. Life responds to action and our actions need to be focused on pre-selected targets and ambitions.
