This first step in being with Jesus is actually having an interest in Jesus. This is a hard question we need to really ask ourselves. Do we have a true interest in Him as a person to follow or if He is just we something we do by tradition.

Distractions divide our attention and steal our time. There are many good things in life that Satan uses as distractions from what is best. We never find Jesus running around too busy or too distracted. He lived and modeled a different way of life and this is the life that you and I really want to live.

So often we equate success with busyness. The busier we are the more successful we will be with but this is an incorrect gauge. One of the greatest enemies to our spiritual life is busyness. If we are not careful the busyness of life can take us away from Who and what is best. Join with the conversation on today's episode.

Being saved or accepting the free gift of salvation does not automatically enroll us into being a true follower of Jesus Christ. He has extended the invitation which we must accept or deny. If we accept there is a process involved that will help us tremendously to become a true follower. We will lay out the process in today's episode.

What does it look like to accept the invitation of Jesus to follow him? What are the practical implications that come with this type of commitment?

In life we constantly experience trials. Each trial that comes into our life reveals something very specific to us about God and reveals that every trial we experience has purpose.

Too many times we separate ourselves so far from those we are to reach that we isolate ourselves from them. Biblical separation turns into unbiblical isolation. Jesus gives us the perfect example of how close we are to get to sinners in order to be effective witnesses.

If we are going to reach others with the truth it will require us to get up close and personal with those around us. Even those who do not act like us, talk like us, or believe like us. Effective witnessing is done in an up close and personal manner outside of our Christian bubble.

It is important as we share Jesus Christ with unbelievers that we bring them to a point of decision. We must help them to see a decision needs to be made to either accept the free gift of eternal life to to refuse it.
