Life to the Fullest

Dr. Bruce Ware is a highly esteemed theologian and author, and is currently a professor of Christian Theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY. In this episode Dr. Ware takes us deep into the life of Christ and shows us how every aspect of it was experienced as a human man. He had to grow in faith, learn obedience, fight temptation, and rely on the Spirit for everything. As a result, he shows us what it truly looks like to be human and what it really means to live life to the fullest.

You can go deeper into the discussion by grabbing Dr. Ware's book, The Man Christ Jesus.

If we want to live life to the fullest, we have to experience a deep seeded contentment and satisfaction. The problem is that while most of us get that, all of us have the tendency to look for satisfaction in all the wrong places, and end up stuck on an endless cycle of want as a result. In this episode, we explore one of the most significant barriers to contentment and how Jesus can move us past it and get us off that endless cycle for good.

Everyone wants to live life to the fullest but most of us have never stopped to ask if we even know what "life to the fullest" actually is. What if we're chasing a mirage? What if our vision of "the good life" is off? What if we've been spending all of our time, effort, and energy going in the wrong direction? And what if the God who designed it out of his own imagination came to earth to show us what it really was and then invite us into it? These are the questions that are behind this podcast. We're so excited to explore them with you!
