We continue our conversation about the source of authentic energy for life in today’s relevant episode. Pandemic has made us weary and we’re too easily duped by hell into pursuing counterfeit solutions. Rebellion cries: “I won’t let anyone tell me what to do” and promises energy through pleasure. Religion offers an equal and opposite allure. The spirit of religion dangles the promise of performance-based living as the path to energy. It traffics in pride that says, “I’m better than others because I do everything right.” Today’s episode exposes the twin counterfeit paths to life and points to the one, true source of refreshment—relationship with God through Christ.
