Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

Wouldn't it be amazing to find a real treasure map? But, the reality is that you won’t find the x on the map without knowing where to start. Well, in today’s message, Pastor Daniel points out the foundations of a happy life, where x marks the spot, begin in the person of Jesus. He's your source and foundation for the crazy happy life that God wants you to have. The first step on the map to happiness is to be rooted in your identity in Him.

Everyone wants to be happy. But what does that really mean and how do you get there? Well, today, Pastor Daniel begins a new series aimed at answering these questions. Based on his new book, Crazy Happy: 9 Surprising Ways to Live a Truly Beautiful Life, he sets out to unpack what the Bible says about happiness and where to find it. You’ll learn that God absolutely wants you to be happy and He gives you the roadmap to get there.

Today Pastor Daniel is joined by entrepreneur and author Jordan Raynor. They’ll be discussing the idea of Jesus plus career – and how the two can actually mesh. It’s too easy to let your job become your identity and Jesus takes a back seat. Instead, let Jesus direct you in your job, or even in a search for a new vocation!

Junk drawers. We all have one. And, while it’s great to just throw stuff in there, they can quickly get overwhelmed and chaotic. Today, Pastor Daniel explains that God wants to make you whole by transforming every area of your life. You’ll be urged to consider if there are places in your heart and mind where you’re not letting God in. You see, He wants you to live in wholeness so He needs to restore all of you, even the things in your heart’s junk drawer.

Some days it seems like you’re spending all your time putting out one fire after another, managing life. But, as Pastor Daniel reminds you in today's message, there’s more to life than the next thing on your list. You see, God wants you to look up from the details of your days and focus on what He says is important. Replacing your priorities with His values will enable you to live in the fullness of who He is and who He made you to be.

There’s a saying that goes “change starts here.” In today’s message, Pastor Daniel shares that God wants His kingdom to intersect with this world. And it all starts in your heart. When you align yourself with Jesus and let Him begin to transform you at your core, it’ll reverberate out into every part of your life. You’ll bring His life-giving change to your relationships and your community because His Kingdom is your focus. And that will change the world.

While there may be no such thing as a bad question, some questions have more weight than others. In today’s message, Pastor Daniel takes a look at the conversation between Pontius Pilot and Jesus. You’ll see that how you answer the question “Who is Jesus to you?” makes all the difference. The realities of your response aren’t just meant for Easter, but for every day of the year. Jesus is real and He wants to be a part of your daily life.

At some point, everyone, regardless of age, struggles with impatience. And our culture feeds right into this. Today, Pastor Daniel is joined by pastor and author John Mark Comer to talk about the benefits of a slower life. They discuss how the practice of spiritual disciplines like fasting helps you grow in contentment.

Each day you have an opportunity to live for Jesus. You can choose to love people as He does…as He loves you. But the choice is always yours. Pastor Daniel will be encouraging you today to make positive steps toward the future by focusing on what you can do RIGHT NOW for the Lord. And there’s plenty to do right now – you don’t have to wait to serve Him! Just look around you today and ask the Lord to use you to bless others!

Can you see into the future? Don’t worry, you don’t need to answer that – because NO ONE knows what’s coming. Just look at the past few years! There’s no way to predict the future, but Pastor Daniel will tell you today that there is a way to set yourself up to be a better human being when the future arrives. It’s simple – work on your relationship with Jesus right now! Let Him grow you into the person He knows you can be!
