Summary

In this episode of The Disciples Journal, we explore the often-misunderstood concept of Lordship—where Jesus moves from being merely our Savior to becoming the sovereign ruler of every aspect of our lives.Through profound insights from Erica Diggs, we uncover why many believers remain stagnant despite years of church attendance, and how the fundamental issue often traces back to a misunderstanding of true surrender. This discussion will teach you the practical journey to deepening intimacy with Christ, and understand the transformative power of making Jesus not just Savior, but Lord. Whether you're feeling stuck in your faith or seeking to deepen your relationship with Christ, this conversation provides the biblical framework and practical steps for moving from religious activity to genuine relationship with Jesus.
