We all want our lives to make a difference. We want our story to have an impact on others, but often we’re not sure how to do this. But when we live an interactive life with God, He will send us out to share His Kingdom with others. We need to see our stories as being one about us joining God in His mission to draw people into His Kingdom. In order to do this we need to be constantly aware of what God is up to in the world around us. We need to have eyes to see, ears to hear, and hands ready to give. This is how we disciples of Jesus fight the spiritual battle with His approved weapon of love.

Though modern wisdom puts a lot of emphasis on finding success, happiness, and fulfillment in “finding your own self-worth”, interactive life with God is about finding our worth in Christ. What this means is that I hold two truths at the same time: my worth (in Christ) and my deep unworthiness (because of sin). Like the woman caught in adultery, when we are stripped bare of all of our false masks, and open and honest about our sin, we can actually find more love and acceptance in Christ than we ever expected. But it begins with taking off the false stories we assume in order to feel lovable and worthy.

We can’t get interactive life with God right if we don’t have the right picture of God. The Pharisees had a picture in their mind of how God operated and interacted with humanity, but their picture kept them from seeing the way God was clearly operating and interacting with humanity through Jesus. Jesus redefines the way God interacts by framing it in terms of love. Love, as Jesus defines it, is the key to understanding life in the Kingdom.

We all want to raise confident kids who are kind and compassionate to others. None of us want our children to be guarded and afraid of connecting with others. But where does this come from? On this week's episode, we talk about how to raise our kids to be confident and loving based on their connection with us. SEND US A QUESTION: https://forms.gle/RbePzE93HbHtCvuZA
