It is one thing to just know about Jesus however it's amazing the sense of strength that comes by being with Jesus and noticing how He empowers you.  We'll start off this episode with a great little exercise of connecting with Jesus.    If you've ever found yourself at a place in your life where you feel like you can't get your bearings or find your place.  

I'm sure you might be able to relate to the prodigal son at some point in your life, but we'll spend a little time thinking what it feels like when we're coming back into the Father's arms.    We will discover that our testimony comes from our own personal experience with Jesus.  We'll look at the beginning 1 John and how the disciples set an example for future believers about the joy they got from when those around them would experience Jesus.  

One of the simple practices we can is simply keeping an appreciation journal and visiting these memories throughout our day and especially when we are getting overwhelmed.
