Self-Confidence Dethroned (#619)




The God Journey show

Summary: Wayne fills Brad in on his recent trip to Florida and North Carolina.  One of the amazing observations Wayne had was the number of young people standing on the cusp of a new journey. Seeing through the illusion of religious obligation, they are hungry to find a different way of walking with Jesus that leads to life. That leads the guys into a discussion about the mistaken process Christianity almost universally embraces: If we can just define the right expectations God has of us from Scripture and do our best to live up to them every day, we will live a victorious Christian life. That system, however, has a faulty linchpin—our own human effort—and will disappoint us every time. How do we lose confidence in our own abilities and learn how to let Jesus live his life through us? They finish with a letter about whether learning to follow God is more like enjoying a playground or learning to walk a tightrope.<br> Podcast Notes:<br><br> Listen to <a href="https://www.lifestream.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/vince118.mp3">Wayne's Radio Interview</a> with Vince on WBT Charlotte<br><br> <a href="https://www.lifestream.org/product/beyond-sundays/">Beyond Sundays Is Now Available</a><br><br> <a href="http://www.thegodjourney.com/archive-rss-feeds/">RSS Feeds for The God Journey</a><br><br> <a href="https://www.lifestream.org/connect/travel-events/">Wayne's Travel Schedule in early 2018</a><br><br> <a href="https://www.lifestream.org/kenya-expanding-irrigation-new-village/">The latest news from our project in Kenya</a><br><br> Add your voice to our question/comment line via Skype at "TheGodJourney"<br>
