As John and Victor discussed a few weeks ago, “freedom comes at a price and freedom is difficult”. In this episode they are diving into what that actually means: obedience. Contrary to a common mentality, obedience is not slavery, but actually, it is the MOST freeing thing!

In this episode, you will hear John and Victor talk about:

• Walking the extra mile giving you the power
• Jesus’s obedience in his agony in the garden
• The suffering we are called to
• Practical tips for practicing obedience

Have you ever just rubbed someone the wrong way? Or they just irk you a little bit? Maybe it is NOT an unsolvable mystery. Sometimes our reactions that seem over-the-top are actually steaming from wounded places deep-down in our hearts. Maybe it is time we REALLY look at ourselves in the mirror.

John just returned from a healing retreat! And he has a lot to say from it… starting with: GOD’S CRUCIAL COMMAND FOR US TO REST. We often push ourselves until we are exhausted… we rest in order to work when it should actually be the opposite. The world makes us think that if we aren’t busy we are wasting our time; but true rest is its own act of obedience.

In this episode you will hear John and Victor say:

• The relentless desire to consume & acquire
• Why are we feeling guilty about following the first commandment?
• Our fear of being still & our desire for power
• It is not about what I can achieve

Do you ever have a day when you just want to veg out? Sometimes we just have bad days and cracking open a cold beer sounds a lot more appealing than cracking open the Bible. But if we want to be saints, we need to form holy habits, regardless of our feelings. The martyrs have shown us the strength that comes from prioritizing Faith over feelings.

In this episode you will hear John and Victor say:

• “When you are not focusing on yourself, I show up”
• “The devil is the one that wants us to live in our feelings”
• “We shouldn’t be doing our devotionals and prayers looking for gratification”
• “Love is often written off as a feeling, but love is an act of the will”
