How do we know if the inspirational quotes and pieces of "wisdom" we hear all over social media are actually Godly and worth living by? In this series on true vs. false wisdom, we're answering that very question! Join Pastor Adam and Chloe Lavinder as they "fact check" a quote/common belief about going the extra mile for people who wouldn't go the extra mile for you, and why it does not line up with true wisdom from God.

75: Fact Check: Jumping Puddles vs. Crossing Oceans

The Christian walk with Jesus is the greatest experience our human lives can embrace, but it is incredibly hard.  Unfortunately, conversations about faith tend to ignore the struggles or only brush by the difficulties in route to talking about personal victories or growth.  In a day and age where we see leaders in corporate America, our government, and even the church try to hide their flaws, we are taking an uncommon approach to the Christian walk.  Join Pastor Adam Cook each Wednesday as he takes some risks and heads down a road of honesty about this messy walk we call faith.  We won’t play it safe, and neither should you.  In fact, you cannot play it safe and please God, so why pretend?  Nobody is perfect.  Everyone has struggles.  Even Christians.   If you are ready to step into an authentic faith walk and get some mud on your boots, this podcast is for you.  
Adam Cook is the founding and Senior Pastor of Union Church located in rural Danville, Virginia, and Yanceyville, North Carolina.  He has been in full-time ministry in a variety of settings and church sizes for over 20 years and strives to use authenticity, honesty, and rawness to lead others into a real, albeit messy, walk with Jesus.
