Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

It’s really easy to get so caught up in your own life that you miss what’s going on around you. Today, Pastor Daniel explains that God wants you to look up and notice that you’re a part of something bigger. When Paul wraps up his letter to the Colossians, he draws attention to the other churches in the area. He wants them to know that they’re part of God’s Church, the church with a big “C”. Like them, we can have a bigger picture of what God is doing.

Prayer is an essential part of connecting to God. It gives you the footing you need to move through life with peace and hope. It fills you up. But, prayer is also a key part of sharing the good news of Jesus with the people around you. Today, Pastor Daniel explains that your prayer life and your ability to talk to others about God are linked together. First, you’re grounded and filled through prayer and then that spills over as you share with others.

Today, Pastor Daniel sits down with author and pastor, Mark Clark, to talk about how to answer a skeptic’s questions about Christianity and Jesus. He’ll share that it’s a mistake to throw out Christianity because of how people have messed up. Instead, your opinion should be based on what Jesus, himself, said and did.

It’s a sign of strong character when your actions match your words. That’s exactly the point that Pastor Daniel brings up in today’s study of Colossians. He shares that the transformation that God brings to your inward life should trickle out to your relationships, and especially to your family. When families operate by God’s design, it shows the world that Jesus is real and that following Him makes a huge difference in your life.

Every day you’re taking stock of things. From the checklist before you leave in the morning to what you need to pick up at the grocery store, you’re constantly assessing how things are. Today, Pastor Daniel encourages you to apply this to yourself and take an honest look at how you’re doing in areas like compassion, kindness, and patience. The good news is that God knows that you are a work in progress, just like everyone else, and He wants to transform your life.

God loves you just the way you are…but He’s not content to leave you that way. He sees the destructive choices, the lies you believe…all the broken and hurting parts of your life. And He wants more for you than that. Today, Pastor Daniel shares that God wants to transform your life from the inside out. And learning to focus on Him and His truths in everything you go through will pave the way for renewal in every part of your life.

Any professional athlete will tell you that their focus is key in being able to do well in their sport. But, as you’ll learn today, this isn’t just true on the field, it’s a fact of life. Pastor Daniel invites you to consider what God says about your focus. You’ll learn that it’s easy to get swept away by what’s right in front of you. But that’s not the way to the life God wants for you. He wants you to have an eternal mindset, one that frees you up to become more like Jesus.

You’re unique. There’s no one quite like you anywhere else. Today, Pastor Daniel and Jason Sautel talk about how God uses the things that are special about you to get His message of love, grace, and forgiveness out to the people around you. So, even though you may be different or feel less qualified, you are needed.

The idea of “enough” can be hard for us to understand, especially living in a culture like this one that’s always expecting more. But, as Pastor Daniel shares today, that’s exactly what the Bible says about Jesus- that He’s enough. You’ll learn that the work that Jesus did on the cross is more than enough for you. He’s the head of the Church and holds everything together. You don’t need to do anything extra to make yourself right with God.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could call a “do-over”… to go back in time and do things a different way? Let’s be honest, we all have regrets, things we’ve done that weigh us down. But, as heavy as you may feel at times, you don’t have to live with that shame and burden anymore. Today, Pastor Daniel shared that Jesus came to heal your heart and relieve you of your guilt. His work on the cross covers you, erasing your mistakes so that you can have a new life.
