Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

At some point, everyone comes across people who are just all talk. They say all of the kinds of stuff but bail out when it’s time to show up. In today’s passage, Jesus tells the rich, young ruler to put his money where his mouth is. Just like him, Jesus wants you to trust Him and follow Him. Pastor Daniel explains that both are necessary to walk well with the Lord. You won’t experience what God wants for you if you don’t trust and follow Jesus.

Have you ever met someone that you instantly clicked with? There was just something about them that drew you in and allowed you to make a great connection. Today, Pastor Daniel explains that many people feel the same way about Jesus. There’s just something about Him that piques your curiosity and compels you to learn more. This was the case for the rich young ruler. He saw Jesus and knew that there was something different about Him.

Whether you’re new to Jesus Is Real Radio or a long-time listener, you may be curious about Pastor Daniel’s faith story. Today, Billy Hallowell takes some time to talk to Pastor Daniel about his journey with Jesus. You’ll learn that God was teaching him about healthy relationships before he even realized that Jesus is real.

No matter the area of life, each of us battles having a hard heart at some point. We have to fight to keep open and soft toward people and situations. Well, today, Pastor Daniel points out that hard hearts cause all sorts of brokenness, including divorce. As you look at what Jesus has to say about marriage, you’ll see that each person is responsible for the state of their heart. It’s hard work to keep your heart soft, but, ultimately, how you respond is up to you.

When most people talk about marriage, they focus on the surface stuff- the issues that come up, how to improve their relationships or their level of happiness. But Jesus didn’t do that. When asked about marriage, He bypassed the surface stuff and dug down deep, to the heart of what marriage is. In today’s edition of Jesus is Real Radio, Pastor Daniel helps you unpack what Jesus has to say about marriage and why it matters for you.

If you walk with God, then any conversation about forgiving others is rooted in the reality of how God forgave you. You can let the wrongs of others go because God compassionately forgave your debts. Today, Pastor Daniel urges you to take a hard look at all Jesus has done for you and simply respond to Him. This is the good news of the Gospel! You are totally forgiven by God when you admit your brokenness and need and align yourself with Jesus.

Forgiveness. From the time you were young, you had to learn how to let things go and forgive. But it can be so hard to do sometimes. How do you forgive others when you’ve been terribly wronged? And how can you forgive yourself for hurting the people around you? In today’s teaching, Pastor Daniel urges you to look to Jesus for the example of how to forgive. He was betrayed and hurt and still gave people unlimited forgiveness.

Many of us wish we could change something about ourselves. But making new habits can be hard. Today, pastor and author Mark Batterson joins Pastor Daniel and Billy to talk about his book Win the Day. It’s all about how doing one thing differently can shift the trajectory of everything. Changing your life starts with a single step.

The Bible is very clear about God’s desire for the lives of His people to be marked by humility. But how do you do this? How do you grow in humility? In today’s edition of Jesus is Real Radio, Pastor Daniel explains that the way to become more humble is to follow the example of Jesus and to get in the presence of God. When you do this, you’ll be faced with God’s majesty and the perfection of Jesus and realize the truth that you’re not that great.

You probably wouldn’t say that humility is common in this culture. It’s actually quite the opposite. People work hard to look like they’ve got it all together, that everything is fine. Well, today Pastor Daniel shares that Jesus wants you to grow in humility. And, while he acknowledges that it's developed as you walk through hard things, you should still pursue it. Pastor Daniel reminds you of what Jesus says… that true greatness is found in humility.
