Discover how redefining faith as enacted loyalty can revolutionize your understanding of Christianity and deepen your relationship with Jesus. Mike Erre and Tim Stafford unpack common misconceptions about faith, exploring how viewing faith as allegiance to Jesus as King leads to a more authentic and active spiritual life.

Key Takeaways:

• Faith Beyond Mental Agreement – Challenging the idea that faith is merely believing certain truths without action.
• Enacted Loyalty to Jesus – Understanding faith as lived allegiance, demonstrated through actions and lifestyle.
• Debunking Misconceptions – Addressing misunderstandings of faith being the opposite of reason, a leap in the dark, or mere profession.
• The Marriage Analogy – Exploring how marriage serves as a powerful metaphor for faith as a covenantal and relational commitment.
• Embracing Doubt Within Faith – Discussing how doubt is a natural part of faith and does not undermine genuine allegiance.
