“The person who lives for God's glory and expects to be glorified by God as a result is the person who is living, who's truly working and walking in the day. The person who is compelled by the fear of death and by earthly consequences, whose life is about deciding what risks there are and trying to ensure at least the longest possible lifespan here, that person is already walking as though they were dead.”
What does it mean to truly live by faith? In this episode of the Faith Recovery Podcast, Nathan and his co-hosts, Alex and Kent, tackle one of the most profound promises in Christianity: Jesus' assurance to keep his followers safe. But what happens when reality seems to contradict that promise? They dive into John 11:1-16, where Jesus promises safety but Lazarus dies. Through a heartfelt and candid discussion, the hosts explore the tension between divine promises and earthly experiences.
They unpack the concept of resurrection faith and challenge listeners to rethink what it means to live for God's glory rather than for immediate outcomes. With their usual blend of humor and deep reflection, these three pastors offer a fresh perspective on faith, doubt, and the true essence of life. Whether you're questioning your beliefs or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode provides valuable insights into navigating the complexities of spiritual life.
