024. Don't Sleepwalk through Christian life
We explore how misunderstanding biblical context leads to "spiritual sleepwalking" - practicing self-effort religion instead of resting in Christ's finished work. This common mistake occurs when we fail to recognize which covenant was operating during Jesus's earthly teachings.
• Most Christians unknowingly read Jesus's teachings without recognizing He spoke to people under the Law
• The Sermon on the Mount was delivered before the New Covenant began at Christ's crucifixion
• Jesus taught the Law in its full intensity to reveal humanity's need for a Savior
• The Lord's Prayer illustrated Old Covenant principles, not New Covenant grace
• Contrasting "forgive to be forgiven" (law) with "forgive as you've been forgiven" (grace)
• Galatians confirms Jesus was "born under law to redeem those under law"
• The finished work of Christ brings rest from religious striving
• Understanding proper context liberates us from performance-based spirituality

026. Cast your Anxiety on Christ
We explore the transformative journey of casting anxiety onto God and finding peace through complete dependency on Christ. Through powerful personal stories and biblical insights, we uncover how pride often prevents us from experiencing the freedom that comes with genuine surrender to God's care.
• A moving story about my father-in-law's resilience and humor through life-threatening illness
• The realization that what we worry about often never actually happens
• How Christ defeated death and transformed our relationship with God under the new covenant
• Jesus' teachings on anxiety and the futility of worry (Matthew 6:25-34)
• The critical difference between pride and humility when facing life's challenges
• Why casting anxiety on God requires acknowledging we have anxiety in the first place
• How mixing legalism with grace prevents us from experiencing true freedom
• The transformative power of dependency on Christ rather than self-effort
• Understanding that being "born again" cannot be changed through behavior
