If one of the apostles wrote a letter to the church today, what would they say? 

John Lynch, coauthor with Andrew Farley of Gospel Zero believes he would want us to reclaim the radical message of grace.  

John and Shawna get honest about the lies we believe about God. The voices we hear in our heads that belittle us that we assume are the voice of God and the ungodly message they speak over us.

They unpack how we fear grace and identify with our old selves, as sinners, more than the new people with new hearts that we are because God lavished grace on us through His son.

And we discuss the need to get real with God. To be so honest with Him that instead of hiding we go right to Him & share everything with Him, even the uncomfortable stuff.

John says, “It’s less important that things get fixed than that nothing has to be hidden.”

Also, in today’s episode, Shawna shares a time when she just couldn’t receive the wisdom offered her by an older, wiser mother. All she could see was the moment she was in.  Likewise, in the midst of our “right now” circumstances it can be challenging to live with eternity in mind.

Lastly, what keeps you from God? Lent is an opportunity to change that. To remove that which keeps you from Him and engage in things that draw you near to His heart.
