There was a place in New York where I grew up called The Pond, and you were really brave if you did the high dive there...I was never brave enough to do it though. To me, it was so terrifying climbing up the ladder and then looking down into the water, but that's okay because those types of high dives are not always worth it in life. When you take a spiritual high dive though, when you take the plunge, a leap of faith, they're always worth it. Today we are going to study two high divers in the Bible - Let's "dive in!"

We're talking about taking the plunge here at the beginning of a new year, trusting the Lord when He gives you a new plan, a new route for your life. Have you ever been rerouted by your GPS and you're like, am I really going to trust this GPS? So often we do... So let's commit to trusting the Lord more in 2025 to take the plunge when He asks us to take it.

Taking the plunge is really another way of saying take a leap of faith. Today's Bible story is just rife with plungers. We're going to start with Abraham, probably one of the most faithful people who ever lived on this planet.

It takes guts to make a new friend, but I'm going to challenge you to take the plunge here at the beginning of 2025! The first new friend I want you to meet is my dear friend Jen Schultz. She is going to bless your socks off as the NEW host for the Bible for Busy People at the beginning of February. She is one of those instant friends you click with fast and I can hardly wait for you to meet her. Okay, for now though, let's dive into Luke chapter 5!

I did something crazy to kick off 2025... My husband and I decided to join a thousand of our neighbors and jump into Puget Sound for the Polar Plunge on New Year's Day. I thought this is the perfect way to begin a brand new year symbolically too, and take the spiritual plunge and go deeper in my faith. Let's do that together today!

Today we are talking about what it's like to be fully spiritually alive in 25, and today we are going to study Andrew. We don't hear that name very much, but he was one of Jesus's faithful followers. He was Simon Peter's brother, and I think he gets lost in Simon Peter's shadow, but he played a significant role in bringing his brother Simon Peter to Jesus. Let's find out more.

You and I are studying what it looks like to be fully alive spiritually in 2025. We can be strong and we can be courageous because we know we're not alone. We don't have to be afraid or discouraged because God is fighting for us.

Living well means doing these things like praying, reading the Bible, being kind... all while trusting in God's guidance and grace throughout life's challenges. And that's what we're going to talk about today. Trusting God's will for your life and mine, throughout life's challenges, and remembering He knows the plans He has for you and for me. They're to give you a future and a hope. We're clinging onto those words today in stormy seas of circumstances.

We are right in the middle of a brand new series called Alive in 25. As I mentioned last time, I was googling these words: live-well-Bible, and AI popped out a paragraph that was scarily on point. Let's continue to dissect it together because I believe God wants us to live fully alive in 25!

I googled these five words: how-to-live-well-Bible, and I was really surprised at what AI popped out in a paragraph, and that's what we're going to talk about it this week.
