Hungry for a faith that goes beyond Sunday feelings? We dive straight into Philippians 3 and ask a bracing question: what are we still counting as valuable that Christ is asking us to count as loss? From family priorities to spiritual résumés and church lingo, we lay down the illusion that effort earns salvation and return to the blazing center—union with Jesus.
We map out three clear stages of the Christian journey: a perfect relationship granted by grace, imperfect but real progress shaped by daily surrender, and the promise of complete perfection when we’re finally with Him. Along the way, we wrestle with a tension many avoid: the power of Christ and the fellowship of His suffering. The same Spirit who leads us into city streets filled with praise also leads us into quiet wilderness testing. Dry spells aren’t abandonment; they are invitations to mature love that holds fast when feelings fade.
Expect bold honesty, practical stories, and a call to courage. We talk about leaving behind the residue of where you’ve been before stepping onto holy ground, and how exposing wounds—naming hurts, practicing forgiveness, seeking deliverance—opens the door for real healing. Miracles can feel weird before they look glorious, but humility and obedience make room for God to move. If you’re ready to reorder your life—God first, then family, then church—and to treasure Christ above comfort, platform, or routine, this conversation will meet you where you are and call you deeper.
