The Bible shows us very clearly: Jesus was all about relationships. In fact, during his time on earth, Jesus rebuked the religious elite because they were using the law and religious practices to exalt themselves, completely missing God’s heart for His people. Can we, as believers, fall into the same trap? Are we prioritizing moral checklists and good optics over intimacy with God and those He calls us to love? Tune in to this week’s episode as Lisa and Ali discuss some of the connotations around the word religion, how the good news about Jesus changes everything, and how we can be more intentional about forming a deeper connection with God and others.
