Summary

In this episode I dive deep into a question every believer must ask: How do we keep Jesus first in all that we do? I'll challenge you to move beyond the bare minimum of faith—Sunday services and quick prayers—and how to invite Jesus into every part of your life. It’s time to stop going through the motions and fully surrender to His lordship. Together, we’ll explore what it looks like to not just know Jesus as Savior but to allow Him to be Lord, guiding every decision, every moment, every breath.

And this is important to me because I can think back on moments where Jesus may have had my time but never truly had my life

0:45.8

and for me that looked like just going through the motions of Sunday morning services

1:15.0

this is a love poem that he's basically like spewing,

1:24.3

And it made me think of this question of,

1:26.3

if we extracted the fingerprints of your heart,
