"Head knowledge doesn't matter until it comes to a place of application."
How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? In this compelling episode of Cedar Point Recovery, Pastor Aaron Shaw takes listeners on a transformative journey from 'knowing about' Jesus to truly 'knowing Him.' With the backdrop of winter weather forcing an online-only session, Aaron delivers a heartfelt message from his living room, joined by his wife and two youngest sons.
This intimate setting doesn't deter him from delivering a powerful sermon based on Philippians 3, where he challenges listeners to move beyond mere information and embrace a real relationship with Jesus. Aaron reflects on the cultural Jesus many of us know—one that fits comfortably into our lives without demanding change. He urges listeners to break free from the 'nice Jesus' who asks nothing of us and instead invites them to know the Jesus who transforms lives.
The message is clear: head knowledge alone isn't enough; it's about heart knowledge that leads to surrender and transformation. Throughout the episode, Aaron interweaves personal anecdotes and biblical teachings, highlighting the gap between religious knowledge and spiritual intimacy. He encourages listeners to evaluate what they hold dear and to consider if those things bring them closer to or further from Jesus.
The podcast is not just about learning facts but about experiencing the power that comes from a genuine relationship with Christ. As Aaron wraps up the series, he leaves listeners with a call to action: make 2026 the year of commitment to knowing Jesus deeply. He suggests removing distractions and focusing on a relationship that truly changes lives. Are you ready to move from knowing about Jesus to truly knowing Him?
