#JesusWay
“that the generosity of Jesus, the way of Jesus is not natural to us. It's just not. As much as we would love to believe that we are just naturally generous people, we're not. It is not our human nature. Our human nature, yours and mine, if we're really honest, is to be selfish, it's to be greedy, it's to be angry about the things that we don't have or angry about the things that have been taken from us. And then Jesus shows up on the scene. He comes along. Jesus comes along and says, listen, My way is not your way. The way of Jesus is not your natural human nature way. I want you to follow my way.”

“And drifting is dangerous because it feels calm. You don't have to do anything to drift. You just jump in and just let the stream take you wherever you wanna go. To stay connected with God, it takes intention. Jesus said, I am the vine. You are the branches. He who abides in me and I in him bears much fruit for without me, you can do nothing. But the hard heart stops abiding even if it maintains an appearance of connection, even it keeps keeps the language and the routines. You know before the Lord where your heart is. So be careful about this unbelief. The question is not, do I believe in Jesus, but do you believe Jesus enough to obey him, submit to him, surrender to him?”
38s
“And not just the earthly possessions, but you you gain the career that you truly desire away from god. There's nothing wrong with working hard and earning money, having a good retirement. There's something wrong when it's despite God. When you leave God out of it. No. I'm I'm not gonna take that time off of work to do what God wants me to do because I have keep pressing on. There's nothing wrong with wanting your kids to be successful, have a great career, make lots of money. There's something wrong with it if God wants them to do something else.”
43s
“And the reality that Pentecostal charismatic Christians remind us of is there is another world outside of the world that we perceive with our five physical senses. This world of heaven is here and present, and the Holy Spirit is being poured out upon the earth and is at work. And we need the power, the presence, the work of the holy spirit. I think we need it even more today. We need it because I see so many Christians wearing themselves trying to follow Jesus in their own strength and their own power.”
40s
“I think the most shocking thing is that your god wants to live in you. No other religions like that. No other religion, you're climbing your way to God. You gotta find your way. You gotta figure it out. You gotta be enlightened. You gotta do enough. But our God says, I'm gonna make a way where there was no way. I'm gonna be your way. I'm gonna be the truth. I'm gonna be the life. You you take hold of me. You be in me and I'll take you there. I'm the vessel to get you where you need to go. He loved us too much to let us stay broken. Right? That's what he's saying, but God.”
63s
“One of the greatest encouragements in Hannah's story is that God saw her long before others understood her. Pananiah understood misunderstood her. Eli initially misjudged her, yet the Lord listened carefully to every prayer she poured out before him as it says in Psalm 34. K. We can stand. Sorry. That was a little bit of an abrupt ending. Thank you, Lord. Barrenness often makes people feel forgotten, overlooked, or abandoned. Yet Hannah's story reminds us that heaven play pays close attention to hidden tears. Heaven pays close attention to quiet prayers. Heaven pays close attention to the sighing and the groaning and the language of pain.”

#ChristianExample
“What if we had the reputation of, man, those Christians, they believe some pretty crazy things, but I really hope that my kids' teachers are Christian. I really hope that my kids' coach is a Christian. Because, man, like, they may believe some crazy things, but when they're really following Jesus, when they're really living the the way of Jesus, they're just gonna make that classroom so much better, that that experience so much better for my kid.”

#ChooseGenerosity
“What if I give to somebody and they just keep coming back asking for more? Or or what if I give to somebody and they go and spend that generosity on something that probably was a poor choice to spend it on? I think Jesus would say, you will always find an excuse to not be generous. You will always find an excuse to not give things away to other people. You will always find an excuse to keep things for yourself.”
36s
#FaithInAction
“And we may always be criticized for what we believe. But I think in the church, we should be famous for how well we treat people. I mean, consider this reputation. Boy, those Christians, they believe some pretty crazy things. But, I hope my daughter marries one. I I really hope my daughter marries a Christian because he may believe some crazy things, but when he's really following Jesus, when he's really following the way of Jesus, like, that marriage, it's just gonna be better. I know it.”
32s
#LoveYourEnemies
“But you've gotta get rid of that thinking that says that is what perfect Christianity looks like. Because according to him, when he says be perfect, he says, what that looks like instead is giving to the one who asks you. Loving your enemies and praying for your enemies and for those who persecute you. By loving and greeting people that are outside of your normal circles. Again, perfection, in this case, is doing good for those who cannot or will not do good for you.”
