Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

If you’ve been to the ocean, you probably know the feeling of standing in the surf and having the sand wash out from under your feet. What you thought was solid ground suddenly shifted. Well, today, Pastor Daniel encourages you to stand firm in the freedom that you have in the Lord. Yes, Jesus has set you free from the bondage of sin, but it’s easy to slide back into choices that entangle you. He urges you to stay alert so you can stay grounded.

Where you do want your life to be in 10 years? Whether you realize it or not, everyone has an idea of what they want their life to look like. But, as Pastor Daniel shares today, God says a truly vibrant life can only develop when you let go of your ideas of what should happen. He explains that God wants more for you than what you want for yourself…to be fulfilled in ways you never thought possible. When you let your plans go, His will have space to grow.

As things in life are slowly getting back to normal, many people are wanting to hit the reset button and get out of the rut they’ve been in. Well, today, Pastor Daniel and Billy talk to pastor and New York Times best-selling author Mark Batterson about how to do this. You’ll discover that it’s all about focusing on what’s in front of you today.

Just like a seed needs soil, sunlight, and water to grow, your relationship with Jesus needs to be cared for so it can flourish. In today’s message, Pastor Daniel explains that the realities of Jesus are planted in you when you begin a relationship with Him. You’re a new creation. But you need to cultivate that knowledge so that it can grow in you and change your life. The transformation Jesus wants for you will unfold as you say yes to Him more and more.

When you’re sick, you want your doctor to go deeper than just your symptoms and treat what’s causing them. The same is true for matters of your character and heart… you have to look at more than just what’s on the outside. Jesus was really good at this. He always saw through the questions that people asked and got to the heart of the matter. In this new series, Pastor Daniel will explore how Jesus helped people get the answers they needed most.

So, you know that it’s good to be humble. You see this clearly in different passages in the Bible and in how Jesus lived. But, how do you get there? How do you grow in true humility? Well, today, Pastor Daniel gets at this question in this study of 3 John. You’ll learn that it starts with being in the presence of Jesus. The more you’re in His presence, the more you’ll realize that who you are and everything you have has nothing to do with you. It’s all a gift from Him.

Most people would agree that caring for our bodies is important.

That’s why billions of dollars are spent every year on health and exercise products. Today, Pastor Daniel begins this study of 3 John by pointing out that followers of Jesus should take care of their health as well as their spirits. But, as you’ll discover, the “why” behind this choice is different than what you might expect. God wants you to be able to say yes to the things He asks you to do.

You can usually tell the difference between a knockoff and the real thing. Today, Pastor Daniel and Billy talk with Matthew West, Christian singer-songwriter and author, about what it means to live an authentic life. It’s all about being honest with yourself and others about the messiness of life and your need for Jesus.

Every day it seems like homelessness grows, natural disasters destroy, and sickness and famine overtake people’s lives. There are needs everywhere you look. And because they’re so common, it’s easy to turn a blind eye and look past them. But, as Pastor Daniel reminds you in today’s teaching, this isn’t God’s heart. You’ll learn that God wants to replace the apathy you feel with a passion to stand in the gap and be God’s hands and feet.

Following God isn’t all butterflies and rainbows. Actually, a relationship with Jesus begins with a hard look at your need for rescue. The truth is that you mess up and you can’t make it right with God on your own. But that’s why Jesus is so important. Today, Pastor Daniel will share the necessary but ugly truth that you’ve made a mess of things and there’s gonna be a fallout. But he reminds you that there’s also hope because Jesus is real and He wants to rescue you.
